The Saint Margaret's Youth Group spent Martin Luther King Day in fellowship and service with five other churches here on the Broadneck Peninsula. Along with youth from St. Andrews-By-The-Bay, Gloria Dei!, College Parkway Baptist Church, Cape Methodist, and Broadneck Baptist, we spent the day learning more about economic inequality and justice, picking up trash along Cape roads, making banners inspired by Dr. King's words, and preparing food for Winter Relief guests.

This was the second year our neighboring churches have gotten together to commemorate Dr. King with learning and service. The interaction with other churches and our neighbors who attend them is perfectly aligned with our own Project 3.25; to engage with our neighbors to make the Broadneck Peninsula an even better place to live. Sometimes we can get stuck inside the bubble of our own lives, unchallenged within our own communities of church, school, and work. We don't always recognize that there are others serving God. Despite whatever differences there may be between us, we are surrounded by people every day who strive to practice the life of love and toleration that Jesus preached, and we may not even know who they are! Events such as the MLK Day of Service help to bring us together, to recognize that there are kindred spirits outside of our bubble, that we don't labor and strive for justice just through our own church, and that we are part of a giant community of people united by belief and practice.
