They’ll get by with a little help from their faith.
The Ministers Alliance of Charles County and Vicinity held a prayer breakfast Saturday. About 100 people attended the annual event at Metropolitan United Methodist Church in Indian Head.
“What we do as an alliance is provide support to the community,” alliance member Deborah Corley said.
The breakfast helped the community with prayers.
George Hackey Jr., pastor of the Metropolitan United Methodist Church, said the breakfast provided spiritual wholeness and helped the community to pray for one another.
Hackey said Saturday was an especially great time for prayer, being the day before the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
The ministers’ group was founded many years ago as a way to foster unity among the area’s churches.
The Rev. James Briscoe, president of the alliance, said while not all churches in the area participate, it has many church participants and all are welcome.
As for the breakfast, Briscoe said, “We’re living in a time where we need prayer.”
Praise teams from area churches provided musical selections between prayers.
Charles County commissioners’ Vice President Reuben B. Collins II (D) addressed participants prior to breakfast, commending participants on the prayer breakfast.
“Prayer is what keeps me strong, and what keeps us strong as a community,” Collins said.
