meaning of the church’s MLK
events against the current so-
cial and political backdrop,
Pastor J.W. Matt Hennessee,
said, “In times like these, it is
imperative that we gather as
community to work together,
celebrate together, and col-
laborate together to ensure a
vibrant, inclusive, and con-
structive future. The spirit and
legacy of Dr. King, Mrs. King,
Mrs. Parks, President Mandela,
Malcolm X and so many who
came before us is what gives
us encouragement and hope
that we will overcome the dif-
ficulties, stresses, and strains of
now and continue to build the
‘Beloved Community.’”
