10:45am |<\/strong> Some of the city’s highest ranking officials and community activists gathered at The Grand on Wednesday morning for the 28th annual Leadership Long Beach Prayer Breakfast.<\/p>\n

From former to current Long Beach mayors, city councilmembers and congressmembers, all gathered to take a moment for silent prayer and discuss ways to make the city a better place. \u201cHow do you benefit, if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process?\u201d asked Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe.<\/p>\n

Long Beach Chief of Police Jim McDonnell served as the keynote speaker – \u201cMediocrity and complacency are the biggest killers of excellence,” he said – along with Jim Lewis of the Long Beach Rescue Mission and tax credit expert Blake Christian as emcees. Eric Marsh, pastor of hope at the Grace Brethren Church received the Community Leader award. Special thanks to photographer Star Sky for capturing these moments.<\/p>\n
