MLK, Jr. Monday Holiday Community Worship Service

The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Organization, Sussex County, Inc. invites you to participate in the Twenty-ninth Annual Commemorative Weekend Celebration in Honor of the late Civil Rights Leader, January 16 – 18, 2021.

Due to COVID, the Community Worship Service will be held via Zoom on Monday, January 18 at 10:00 AM. All are encouraged to attend. You may join the service via the Zoom link https://zoom.us/j/96187260177?pwd=T20zRlhSMmExUWNXTzM3L1U1UXBtQT09. The messenger this year will be the Reverend Doctor Deborah A. McCaffity, Pastor of St. George AME Church of Lewes, DE. This year the Worship Service is being co-sponsored by the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice and the NAACP Lower Sussex Youth Council #2719.

The theme this year, “Enough is Enough: Drive Out Hate with Love” reminds us of the on-going struggle for racial justice and the famous quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in his speech Loving Your Enemies: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

Your support is always needed and appreciated in perpetuating and nurturing the legacy, the vision and the dream of Dr. King. Donations to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Organization may be made to P.O Box 781, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Contributions will help fund scholarships for deserving youth in Sussex County and the on-going work of the Organization.
