Good Friday Prayer Breakfast
and Walk of the Cross
2007
Observe the Meaning of Good Friday at these
Time Honored Events
Two traditional events
are set to help the Norwin community observe
Good Friday this year.
The first is the Good Friday Prayer Breakfast.
Sponsored by the Norwin Chamber of Commerce and
the Norwin Area Ministerium, the prayer
breakfast takes place on April 6 at Stratigos
Banquet Centre in North Huntingdon. The program
runs from 7:30 am until 9:00 am, with doors
opening at 6:45 am.
“The Love, the Lamb, the Cross, and the
Redeemer” is the theme of this year’s gathering,
where the featured speaker will be the Rev.
James Leake, former pastor of the Monroeville
Assembly of God.
The Rev. Leake served as pastor of the
Monroeville Assembly of God for 40 years, and
today, along with his wife Becky, continues to
serve God through an active ministry schedule,
including short term mission trips abroad to
Cuba, Mexico, and India. You can learn more
about the Leake’s ministry at their website:
www.JamesLeake.com.
Music for the Good Friday Prayer Breakfast is
provided by local singers and musicians, with
readings by Norwin area ministers and clergy.
Tickets are $10 each ($7 for Children under 10
years) and are available through
the offices of the Norwin Chamber and at local
churches. Attendees are encouraged to purchase
their tickets early, as the Good Friday Prayer
Breakfast has been known to sell out.
The breakfast menu includes Danish pastry, fresh
fruit, eggs, pancakes & syrup, home fries, oven
fresh bread, coffee, and tea.
Following the Good Friday Prayer Breakfast, the
2007 Walk of the Cross begins at 12:15 pm at the
First United Church of Christ. Participants
visit six churches over the course of three
hours, walking from church to church. Youth
representatives carry a cross, while a ten
minute service is offered at each location.
Enjoy traditional singing and a short message
from area pastors on the theme of “The Reaction
of Others to the Cross.” Each year over 150
people participate in this moving community
event.

The Good Friday Breakfast began more than 20
years ago when Dr. Larry Dunster of the First
Presbyterian Church in Irwin determined to do
something special for the community, providing
inspiration and guidance to those of all faiths.
Attendees include ministers, the general public,
and businessmen and their spouses. All come
together to enjoy the warm
companionship offered by this special morning.
We look forward to seeing you
at these time honored Norwin Community Events.
