We celebrate the life of a man willing to follow Spirit’s stirrings even when knowing he was placing his life on the line over the years. What a legacy!
POTENTIAL ACTIVITY: find a way to celebrate, whether
- watching the 2025 MLK, Jr. Beloved Community Commemorative Service, recorded HERE. If you have time for only part of it…
- make sure to watch the beautiful singing of Lift Every Voice and Sing at about the 20 minute point of the recording
- scroll forward to the keynote speaker, Bishop William J. Barber, II, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign – haven’t heard it yet, but it will undoubtedly be inspiring
- watching audio/video of MLK’s life like the one HERE
- walking in a parade
- or in whatever fashion seems fitting
May this day bring opportunities for reflection on nonviolent civil disobedience, stirred by the Spirit…
