Published 4:12 pm Tuesday, January 26, 2016

Trinity Baptist Church of Orange will host an event called “Backing the Blue Appreciation Breakfast” on Saturday, January 30. The event will honor all Law Enforcement Officers in Orange County. Members of Trinity Baptist Church are deeply appreciative of the service these officers give to keep our community safe.

A simple poem by an unknown author sums up how many officers feel:

 

I ASK

Lord, I ask for courage;

Courage to face and conquer my own fears…

Courage to take me where others will not go.

I ask for strength;

Strength of body to protect others…

Strength of spirit to lead others.

I ask for dedication;

Dedication to my job to do it well…

Dedication to my community to keep it safe.

Give me, Lord, concern;

For all those who trust me…

And compassion for those who need me

And, please, Lord, through it all; be at my side.

 

The breakfast will be from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Officers may come and go during these times. Again, the event will be held to demonstrate the heartfelt community support and appreciation for these officers. The church is located at 1819 N. 16th Street in Orange.
