Martin Luther King Jr. Day

January 17, 2021

 

One of the greatest Americans, Martin Luther King Jr. had a DREAM, a dream of unity, equality and justice that includes and embraces the dignity of all peoples.  As a Christian minister, he lived, wrote and spoke Jesus’ Gospel Message:

‘Let us Love one Another’

As Americans, we join together to celebrate and honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his life’s message by continuing to serve one another and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We continue to unite and treat all with equality and justice.  Let us too renew our commitment to live the Gospel of Jesus and love one another without distinction.

Building The Beloved Community

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lived his life serving others. Following his example, millions of Americans serve on Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. At our children’s schools, at a local shelter, or lending a hand to help our neighbors – we bring to life his vision of neighbors working together to build a better future.

"We may have all come on different ships, 

but we're in the same boat now."

Whether you subscribe to "love thy neighbor" or "the sisterhood of motherhood," Dr. King’s words offer a prescription for empathy, 

encouraging us to walk a mile in another person’s shoes, 

no matter where you and your family are from.

How will we respond to this challenge in our country today?
