Sunday, January 14, 2018
9:15 and 11:15 a.m.
Keep Moving Forward
Reverend Scott McNeill
Reverend Mary Ann Macklin
In honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, we will explore the meaning of Dr. King's words and ministry within the context of 2018. Until then, may you reside in these quotes from Dr. King, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." And "If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward." Let's keep moving forward---but also let us remember to take pause for moments of reverence and awe.
