32nd Community Breakfast
Celebrating Community & Justice: MLK Breakfast Honors Local Voices
Congratulations to the award recipients of the 32nd annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Breakfast hosted by the Phoenixville Area Social Concerns Committee! This year’s event, held on April 11th at the Phoenixville Area Middle School, again brought the community together to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy and the values of justice, compassion and unity.
Our Mission
The Phoenixville Area Social Concerns Committee promotes social justice and community harmony throughout the Greater Phoenixville area in the spirit of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., through direct action and relevant events.
Our History
The Social Concerns Committee was formed in 1977 as a subcommittee of the Phoenixville Council of Churches. The name Phoenixville Area Social Concerns Committee was adopted in 2012.
Our prayer this day and every day
God of love and justice, St. Paul proclaimed that “there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” As we celebrate your faithful disciple, Martin Luther King, Jr., may we be emboldened by your living Word and by his prophetic witness to rid the world of the sin of discrimination in our attitudes and actions.
Help us to seek the unity that Paul and Martin saw so clearly so that all forms of injustice will cease.
Grant us the courage and determination to be prophets of peace.
May we welcome one another as brothers and sisters, rooted in your everlasting love. Amen.
