Prayer Breakfast supports the Y’s Chaplain Services. Joyce is a member who was helped by Chaplain Services. “I had been meaning to seek counseling after a traumatic couple years in my life so I was very glad to learn that the Y offers chaplain services right on the premises. The sessions with Chaplain Lucinda helped me to process lingering grief and shock and were instrumental in helping me get well again emotionally. I would encourage other members to take advantage of such a wonderful resource!”

Thank you to everyone who joined our Annual Community Prayer Breakfast. Over 300 people joined to hear our keynote speaker Dave Gallagher, Associate Director for Strategic Integration overseeing Strategy, Technology and Formulation for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The event raised money toward our Chaplain Services Initiative, which provides non-denominational spiritual support to the community.
