19th Annual Burlington Leadership Prayer Breakfast

The Burlington Leadership Prayer Breakfast is modelled on the National Prayer Breakfast but conceived and organized by a small group of Burlington citizens. It offers an opportunity for people in the Christian faith community to come together to give thanks and pray for their local leaders and community services. It's an opportunity to hear a Special Guest speaker who is living out his or her faith in the workplace and the community. The program also features a gospel music presentation.

Please join us for a morning of prayer for our leaders and community. Christian music by Janine Leon, and inspiration from our special guest speaker, Peter Hall.
