If one word could sum up the theme of the speakers at Saturday’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Prayer Breakfast, it would be “change.”The word, or the concept, was laced throughout the words of those praying and speaking Saturday morning at St. Matthew’s Roman Catholic Church.Organized and led by young men and women on the NAACP Bulloch County Branch Youth Council, the prayer breakfast was well-attended by community members and leaders of all ages and denominations for the purpose of praying for the community and beyond and encouraging tomorrow’s generation. The guest speaker for the event was Statesboro native Jonathan McCollar, the senior community manager for the American Cancer Society, Realtor and recent mayoral candidate. He said he has a passion for his community and a desire to serve the public and be a voice for the voiceless.
