Gov. Steve Beshear and First Lady Jane Beshear invite Kentuckians to participate in the 2015 Governor’s Prayer Breakfast Tuesday, March 17 at the Frankfort Convention Center. Dr. Matthew Sleeth, author and executive director of Blessed Earth, will deliver the keynote address.
The Governor’s Prayer Breakfast is a Kentucky tradition dating back to 1965 and includes representatives of all three branches of government. Each year, this nondenominational gathering provides Kentuckians an opportunity to give thanks for blessings and ask for strength to lead the state toward a better future.
“For decades, the prayer breakfast has provided people the opportunity to slow down for a moment, take a deep breath and reflect on how to grow and serve during the upcoming year,” said Gov. Beshear.
This year’s featured speaker, Sleeth, is an author and executive director of Blessed Earth, an educational nonprofit that inspires and equips people of faith to become better stewards of the earth.
Sleeth is a former emergency room physician and chief of hospital medical staff who resigned from his position to teach, preach and write about the biblical call to be good stewards of the earth. Sleeth has spoken to more than 1,000 churches, campuses, and events, including serving as the monthly guest preacher at The Washington National Cathedral.
The 2015 Prayer Breakfast will also feature music from Larnelle Harris, special readings and a breakfast including bacon, country ham, eggs, grits, hash brown casserole and biscuits.
Doors will open at 7:30 a.m. and the program will begin at 8 a.m.
Tickets are $10 each at the door or $125 in advance for a reserved table of 8.
