It is also designed to train and retain men and women with untapped talents and unknown skills who are unemployed and underemployed. Willie Powell, Jr., is executive director of the local center and Stanley Green is chairman of the Board of Directors. More than 300 persons attended the first annual Mayor's Prayer Breakfast staged here last Thursday morning at the Family YMCA. It was a welcome experience and a credit to Mayor Fred Turnage to lead such a cross-section of citizens in Christian Fellowship. The turnout was indicative that Christ is present in City Hall. It was also a tribute to the Mayor that such a crowd had faith and confidence in his leadership. It was also refreshing to recite the Corporate Prayer of Citizenship, which was led by Dr. Gaylord Lehman, pastor of Lakeside Baptist Church here. The prayer began, "Eternal God, rich in mercy and lavish in thy care of us, may thy name be praised". The prayer went on to "give thanks for the nation with reflections on the nations past and to the work of liberty and justice for all with opportunity for each person to actualize his full potential", we direct our actions. Continuing, the grayer asked to ' raise us into a community in whirh the welfare of one become the concern of all. Mav fences of separation Eerned'into Badges ofunderSndlng. At that ifot ffieetrngr The prayer concluded, Help us to relate our faith to life as held in the home of Mrs. Annie it is lived around us. Make us bearers of hope, champions of B. Johnson, the collection was justice, and agents of reconciliation.'" It was a refreshing position to see more than 300 blacks and whites repeat the meaningful prayer together and more refreshing to see the Mayor so deeply involved in the entire program.
