Last Saturday, September 19, 2026, Dr.G hosted an All-Church Community Prayer Breakfast gathering of sixty people, including Pastors, leaders and/or church representatives. The event was part of the Colton Council of Churches which has been making great strides in bringing churches together under the common goals of preaching about Jesus, prayer, networking, and community engagement.
The All-Church Community Prayer Breakfast was a very successful event and brought together representatives of 18 churches of the City of Colton. “This was an awesome prayer breakfast,” reflected Amy Wright (Faithway Fellowship Church), who continued, “We were blessed with the worship, prayers, and the fellowship.” Another attendee, Pastor Don Duenez (Echoes of Love Church) also gave his reaction to this event, “Prayer is the most important conversation you will ever have. This event united us in prayer.”
The early morning event was held at the Colton Woman’s Club, who brought a few club members to assist with the set-up and the self-serve breakfast. In addition, the Colton Lions Club pitched in by providing helpers to prepare the hot breakfast of pancakes and sausage. The self-serve line included complimentary fruit, rolls and coffee. Carlos Araiza, President of the Lions Club offered his support for this event and commented, “The Colton Lions wanted to help with this event. This type of event is good for the community.”
The Prayer Breakfast started off with an opening prayer given by Pastor Erfin Hartojo (City Blessing Church) followed by the Pledge of Allegiance by Kash Harris, and then a performance of “America” on the trumpet by Dr.G. After the food was served, the program continued with the singing of five traditional hymns, a special message “On Prayer” by DrG, and a series of special prayers given by Alma Rivas, Pastor Richard Luna (Amazing Grace Church), Pastor Alberto Garcia (Church of God of Prophesy). Pastor Don Duenez gave the closing prayer.
The All-Church breakfast idea was created in 2024 by Dr.G, founder of the Church Council, who not only invited the Colton Churches to participate, but as mentioned, collaborated with two local community groups, the Colton Woman’s Club and Colton Lions Club. According to Dr.G, “The purpose of our Church Council is to bring representatives of all Colton churches together.” So far-to-date, forty-five churches have participated in either the monthly meetings, or community outreach activities, and gradually others are joining in. This Prayer Breakfast event, along with the National Day of Prayer (May), the Community Outreach Event (September), and the Colton Earp Day event (August) are quickly becoming part of an inspiring schedule of yearly events which are making a “spiritual” impact on our community. As long as the attendance remains steady and the interest in the organization continues to develop and grow, the Colton Council of Churches will move forward with its plans.
