Citizens, Community Leaders, as well as Law Enforcement, came together for the morning of prayer and reflection.
Rev. Tim Moses presided over the Prayer Breakfast providing song, prayer and entertaining moments. Lake Minneola High School Chorus was led by Ian Tapson, Director of LMHS Chorus and Pam Jones, Community Relations Representative of Congressman Daniel Webster, sang the National Anthem and a solo.
Tawanda Odom, principal of Hope Preparatory Academy gave a moving talk on the importance of prayer.
