GBUMC to host Mrs. Favre in October

Joe Culpepper/Gulf Breeze News Motorists traveling U.S. Highway 98 east of Gulf Breeze often are ministered to by thought-provoking sign marquees in front of a number of churches. Sometimes the messages are humorous, while other times they are serious. Regardless, churches feel they are helping spread the Gospel by posting messages aimed at the masses. Watch future editions of Gulf Breeze News for more examples. Deanna Favre, New York Times bestselling author and wife of NFL quarterback Brett Favre, will be the keynote speaker at Gulf Breeze United Methodist Church's Second Annual Women's Prayer Breakfast on Saturday, Oct. 10

at 8 a.m. Cost is $10 per ticket, and space is limited.

Favre is a much-sought-after speaker/advocate and has raised over $3 million for special causes through her own and Brett's foundations.

The GBUMC Soundside campus again will host the Leadership Summit on Aug. 6-7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The 2009 expert speakers have been selected to deliver practical skills, stretch your thinking and challenge you to reach the full measure of your potential as a leader.
