Faith and football have been a part of Harry Flaherty’s life for several decades. On Friday, Jan. 28, the former professional player and New Jersey native will speak about it during a free event at Manahawkin Baptist Church, starting at 7 p.m.

After a short introduction video highlighting athletes with strong faiths, Flaherty is expected to share a message regarding his life as a football player as well as his Christian testimony, and later will take part in a Q&A with those in attendance.
