History
Mayor William Hargis started the first Woodbury Area Prayer Breakfast in 2000. The first breakfast hosted around 100 people compared to the average attendance of 400+ that attend the event today.
Modeled after the National Prayer Breakfast held in Washington D.C., members of the Woodbury community and surrounding areas gather in faith to hear music and pray together for all areas of the community. Highlight of the event is a key note speaker which is often a local or national speaker that seeks to enlighten attendees.
