On Monday, January 17th, we celebrate as a nation Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As a church that seeks to carry on Dr. King’s legacy and to continue to advance the important and much needed work of racial reconciliation and justice that Dr. King embodied as both a reverend and civil rights activist, we encourage you to find ways to intentionally pause and reflect this upcoming MLK Day holiday.

For those that would like to continue to learn and/or actively participate in community events taking place in and around our region, we’ve provided a few resources below. If you know of an event that you’d like to add to the list, you can email connect@commongood.church.
