The YMCA of the Foothills hosted its Annual YMCA Prayer Breakfast, presented by Citizen’s Bank, on Thursday, November 2nd, 2016, at the Crescenta-Cañada Family YMCA. Doors opened at 6:30 a.m. with the program starting at 7:00 a.m. The Y’s Prayer Breakfast brought more than 400 local community leaders, churches, and residents together for an inspirational morning of praise and fellowship that helped us raise funds to support the Y’s Chaplain Services Program.
Join us in welcoming Courtney B. Vance, Tony and Emmy award-winning actor, as this year’s keynote speaker for the Y’s Annual Prayer Breakfast. From studying history at Harvard, to making history in Hollywood with award-winning roles such as his portrayal of Johnnie Cochran in the TV series
The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, Courtney B. Vance has carefully cultivated an exceptional career. His penchant for finding the dignity and honor in each character has made him a powerful presence from theatrical boards to the silver screen.
Along with character and dignity, faith plays a guiding role in Vance’s life. When Vance was cast as Reverend Henry Biggs in The Preacher’s Wife, he felt an overwhelming need to get in touch with his faith. “I knew I wasn’t going to get into that role without coming to the Lord. I had been trying to do that my whole life”.
Vance is also committed to family, with his wife Angela Bassett and their twin children. Together, Vance and Bassett, co-authored the book, Friends: A Love Story. His character, values and experience inspire this year’s Prayer Breakfast.
