Today was the Naperville Mayor’s Community Prayer Breakfast that they hold annually.  This is hosted by the Heritage YMCA in Naperville.  This year, Angela was on the board to plan and produce the event!  🙂  She was in charge of all of the music.

The program included music which Angela arranged, scripture and special guest speakers.  Jack Lund, CEO and president of the YMCA of Greater New York in New York City, was the guest speaker and did a GREAT job.  Food was provided by Belgio’s Catering, and Naperville Mayor George Pradel lead in the reading of the litany.

Musical entertainment was provided by Waubonsie Valley High School junior Josh Blue a friend of Sarah’s.  Angela was very excited to get him to sing.  He is also a pianist, trombone and bass guitar player and singer.  He played Javert in the WVHS’s spring production of “Les Miserables” (which blew us away!) and frequently volunteers his musical talents at nursing homes, on church mission trips and for organizations like Feed My Starving Children and KidsMatter. He recently has been selected to participate in R.Ed.I (Restore, Educate, Inspire), a pop musical show that performs for Illinois high school students addressing issues related to peer pressure.

In addition, the group Friends in Harmony performed.  This group consists of many friends from church.

It turned out to be a spectacular event and one that I wish I could have gone to.  I stayed home with the kids while Angela did her thing there.  Great work Angela!
