WINONA LAKE — The Kosciusko Community YMCA will have its seventh annual Good Friday Breakfast from 7-9 a.m. Friday, April 7.

It’s at Christ’s Covenant Church, 2090 E. Pierceton Road, Winona Lake.

The speaker is former Major League Baseball player Doug Flynn. He was teammates with Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Ken Griffey, and the rest of the Great 8 from the Cincinnati Reds World Series-winning 1975-76 team.

Flynn will share the excitement of those years, the trauma of baseball trades, the power of a 40-year marriage and the challenges of cancer.

He will also share about the story of his sister’s disappearance, his life-changing Christian journey with “Professional Athletes Outreach” and how he went from an upbringing in the Baptist church to an awesome personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

“You can only trick people into believing you’re a Christian for so long. Then it becomes real,” said Flynn.

Tickets are on sale for the event now, with those able to be purchased by emailing [email protected] or clicking the link here for a table of eight or here for individual tickets.
