Honoring the work of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. means participating in the creation/restoration of the Beloved Community! This is an important holiday to honor the life and work of this deeply faithful man whose prophetic words continue to change America. We are encouraging folks to volunteer in their community on this day as a day on, not a day off.
We are linking up with the City of Bellingham to clean up a local trail.
