You are invited to the 25th annual Community Prayer Breakfast on Saturday, April 6, 2019 in the Phoenixville Area Middle School cafeteria beginning at 7:45 a.m. The theme of the breakfast this year is: “Living My Dream of Social Justice.” The keynote address will be by Frank Cervone of the Support Center for Child Advocates. Tickets are $12 per person or a reserved table for $125 (seats 8). For tickets, please contact Pastor Krommes.
Three special awards are presented as part of the breakfast—The Martin Luther King, Jr. Humanitarian Award, the Emma Valenteen Award of Compassion and the Ruby Armour Love Thy Neighbor Award. Over the years, six of our brothers and sisters have received rewards. We are blessed with their legacy of faith, service, justice and compassion. The morning also includes presentations by Phoenixville Elementary, Middle School and High School students on Dr. King, music by a mass choir and a wonderful opportunity to visit with friends and neighbors.
The Social Concerns Committee was formed in 1977 as a subcommittee of the Phoenixville Council of Churches. The name “Phoenixville Area Social Concerns Committee” was adopted in 2012. The mission of the Committee is “to promote social justice and community harmony throughout the Greater Phoenixville community in the spirit of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., through direct action and relevant events.” Presently, we do not have anyone from St. John’s serving on this important community committee. If you are interested in learning more about it, please speak with Pastor Krommes.
