“Prayer and Praise” was the theme for the annual Greensburg-Jeannette NAACP Prayer Breakfast.

Attendees filled the air with both at the March 2 event in the Christ Our Shepherd Center in Unity.

Organizers built their time of praise and worship around these verses from the Bible’s book of James: “Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. … The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

Guest preacher was Alycia Goodson, minister at God’s Re-Creation Christian Center in McKeesport.

Ruth Tolbert is the NAACP branch president and Adrienne Russell is the religious affairs chairperson.
