It Starts With Me
by Amy Norton-Benfield, January 11, 2024
Dear Ones,
I hope you will join us at 9:45am downstairs in Willett Hall on Sunday for our annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Intergenerational Morning of Service! There are service activities for every age and ability (drawing, scrubbing, tying, painting, connecting, and more!), and every little bit helps!
Afterwards, in worship (also in Willett Hall), we’ll be delving into this year’s theme from The King Center: “It Starts With Me”. We’ll hear two stories of unlikely individuals called to join a movement they knew nothing about; and thanks to their leaps of curiosity, ended up making a whole lot of difference in their communities. We’ll explore what holds us back from taking the first steps in the pursuit of justice and peace, and ponder the invitations we’ve received to “come and see”.
It’s bound to be a spirit-filled morning; I can’t wait to celebrate it with you.
In faith,
Amy
