American astronaut Col. Jeffrey Williams is the keynote speaker for the 23rd annual Clark County Prayer Breakfast, set for Nov. 7 in Vancouver
Organizers have a vision: To inspire Clark County residents to honor, encourage, and support each other.
Organizers have a mission: For residents, businesses, and organizations to honor, thank, and pray for our community leaders and those who serve and protect us.
Organizers have a theme for 2024: “Out of this World” as a way to honor this year’s keynote speaker.
The Clark County Prayer Breakfast is set for Nov. 7, and an astronaut who has witnessed the beauty of God from a point of view that few people have experienced will share his story.
Retired U.S. Army Col. and astronaut Jeffrey N. Williams, who logged a record-setting 534 days in space, is the keynote speaker.
The annual prayer breakfast, now in its 23rd year, is from 7 to 9 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 7 at the Vancouver Hilton.
Tickets are $45 per person or a table of 10 for $450. Please register online by midnight Sunday, Nov. 3. Some tickets (at $50 per person) might be available at the registration desk the day of the event, but organizers are not sure if extra seats will be available.
