We are deeply thankful to our friends at St. David’s Episcopal Church for sharing their beautiful fellowship hall for this meaningful event. Rector Remington Slone shared a heartfelt message, infused with his signature humor. Soumaya Khalifa of the Islamic Speakers Bureau of Atlanta encouraged us to live with “radical amazement.” Cantor Nancy Kassel of Temple Beth Tikvah moved attendees with a beautiful song, and Siva Velv, Hindu Spiritual Guide of the Chinmaya Mission, taught us, or at least attempted to teach us, a Sanskrit chant.

Our keynote speaker, Kirk Driskell, founder of Vision Warriors, shared a deeply personal story that shaped his philosophy of giving away what you have, even something as small as a kind interaction with a stranger, because it may change a life.

We were honored to welcome Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin, Roswell Mayor Mary Robichaux, and other elected officials from across the North Fulton community.

We are also grateful for the support of our neighboring Rotarian clubs who attended and the District Governor line — DG Steve Ivory, DGE Cynthia Edwards, DGN Buck Buchanan, and DGEN Amy Benton — as well as several Past District Governors, including Bob Hagan, Jim Squire, Gordon Owens, and our keynote speaker, Kirk Driskell.

This annual Interfaith Prayer Breakfast reminds us to count our blessings, share those blessings with others, and recognize that we are far more alike than we are different.
