Georgetown, Del., April 16, 2010: Tickets are now on sale for the 33rd annual Sussex County Prayer Breakfast, to be held Tuesday, May 11, 2010, with the Rev. John W. Hobbs as this year’s featured guest speaker.

An ordained United Methodist minister, Pastor Hobbs, of Wilmington, N.C, is president and evangelist of Maranatha Ministries Unlimited. He travels extensively across the United States preaching about the power of faith ‘with an emphasis on the wholeness of man.’

Pastor Hobbs is no stranger to Sussex County, though, having served as senior pastor at Epworth Fellowship Church near Laurel during the 1980s. He has been instrumental in establishing new churches and worldwide ministries, work that continues today.

Pastor Hobbs holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the University of North Carolina, and a Master’s of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C.

Joining Rev. Hobbs as this year’s musical entertainment will be Kevin Short, Ed Shockley and John Thompson of ‘The Reminders’, a local band that plays an eclectic mix of original and familiar gospel music.

This year’s breakfast is once again hosted by the Sussex County Council. Ticket sales and community sponsorships from individuals, organizations and businesses – not County funding – pay for this annual event. Again this year, former County Councilman Dale R. Dukes is volunteering his time to coordinate the breakfast.

The breakfast will begin at 7 a.m. May 11 inside the Delmarva Christian High School auditorium, U.S. 9 and Airport Road, in Georgetown. Tickets are $15 per person, or $110 per table of eight, and will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.

For tickets or more information, call (302) 855-7743.
