JOIN US FOR TUESDAY NIGHT LIVE

Fifty seven years after Martin Luther King Jr.'s arrest for protesting racial injustice in Birmingham, Alabama, his letter written from jail to a group of religious leaders who disapproved of his protest efforts still has relevance today. Please join Covenant UMC's discussion of Dr. King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail". We'll explore how this message resonates with both past and current experiences. We'll also discuss its implications for how we, as followers of Christ, feel called - both individually and as a church - to respond to the racial injustices we continue to face today. Join HERE on ZOOM from 7:00 -8:30 pm.
