This Sunday, January 20, we will turn our attention to the topic of Prayer. All are welcome to come and worship in an inclusive and intergenerational setting, exploring how we connect with God and how God desires to be in relationship with us. Worship is at 10 a.m.
This Monday, January 21st, is the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, a time to remember the struggles of the past, how far we have come, and how far we still have to go to realize the dream of the Beloved Community. Retired Bishop Woodie W. White has posted his annual birthday letter to Rev. Dr. King about the nation's progress toward racial equality at the UM Reporter website.
All are invited to participate in the annual MLK Day "Marade" from City Park down Colfax to Capitol Hill. United Methodists from the Metro District will be gathering at Park Hill UMC at 9:30 a.m. to be at City Park at 10:00 a.m. There will be some preliminary speeches, and we actually walk around 10:30 a.m. Everyone will be picked up downtown, to avoid the time with the return walk.
Lunch will be served at Park Hill, followed by a short program featuring Dr. Jacqueline Benton, who grew up in segregated Little Rock and is cousin to one of the Little Rock Nine. The observance will be finished by early afternoon.
Reminder...
It's not too late to sign up for the Annual Highlands UMC Women's Retreat! We'll be going to Templed Hills next weekend, January 25 - 27. See below for more information, or contact the church office (303-477-5857). We always have a good time, but our topic this year (Holy Hilarity) should lead us to even more fun and laughter than usual!
