Commissioner Mickell Lowery will host the 31st Annual Prayer Breakfast on New Year’s Day at 9:00 a.m. at the Sheraton Memphis Downtown Hotel. The event will bring together spiritual leaders, community advocates, and public officials to reflect on the past year and discuss priorities for the year ahead, according to the Shelby County.
This year’s event holds special significance as it honors the legacy of its founder, the late Myron Lowery, who began the tradition in 1990. It marks the first Prayer Breakfast dedicated to celebrating his lasting commitment to unity through faith and civic engagement, as reported by the Shelby County.
The Annual Prayer Breakfast is a long-standing Memphis event that brings together elected officials, community leaders, and residents for spiritual reflection and civic discussion. The gathering provides an opportunity to review key milestones from 2025 and discuss initiatives planned for 2026. The event serves as a forum for community dialogue and reflection on issues related to the city’s priorities and public life, as stated by the Shelby County.
