Music lovers enjoyed a scrumptious breakfast with all the fixings while contributing to the fund established by Rosa “Rambling Rose” Pryor-Trusty to provide lessons for young musicians in the area. For the 25th year now, the Music Scholarship Prayer Breakfast brought the hall alive with the robust singing of groups like Heavenly Bless and the Golden Voices of New Jersey and stepping from the young people of For God We Live Ministries under the pastoral leadership of the Rev. J.T. Thornton who also preached the morning message.
Heavenly Bless sang with an intent to bless the audience.
