Activities and Goals of DPB Committee
The primary activity of the Committee is the annual “DuPage County Christmas Prayer Breakfast.” This breakfast has been held every December since 1973. The purpose of the event is four-fold. First, it’s an opportunity for citizens to thank the government attendees, and to encourage them to pursue justice and contend for truth. Also, it’s an opportunity to remind and to encourage all Christians, who are committed to the authority of Jesus Christ in all of life, to be in prayer for our government officials, as commanded in 1 Timothy 2:1,2. It is also an opportunity for all to glean wisdom from the keynote speaker and to build relationships which can nurture wisdom and foster good government. Last, but not least, it’s an opportunity to celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The breakfast brings together clergy and lay persons, governmental and non-governmental people. It is not a fund-raising event.
