The Rochester Area Prayer Breakfast is held in recognition of the National Day of Prayer, bringing together people of different backgrounds and affiliations for the betterment of the community, the state and the nation.

This year's speaker is Rebekah Gregory. Her stirring memoir, "Taking My Life Back: My Story fo Faith, Determination and Surviving the Boston Marahon Bombing" tells the story of her recovery, including her triumphant return to Boston two years later and explores the peace we experience when we learn to trust God with every part of our lives - the good, the bad and the terrifying.
