Martin Luther King, Jr. Worship Service

At worship on Jan. 18, 2015, our Social Action Team presented the annual lay-led commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Sunday, with reflections on the resonance of Dr. King's words then and now.

Steve Scott took the photos below.

Andrew Twaddle, who led the service, read the opening words,
Robert Frost's poem "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening."

Andrew lit the chalice.

The congregation sang the first hymn, "Step by Step the Longest March."

The homily was presented in six parts.
TOP ROW FROM LEFT: Ene-Kaja Chippendale read an article by Martin Luther King, Jr. that
appeared in The Nation magazine; Win Scott presented on "No More Deaths"; and Steve Mudrick
read from a St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial about the Michael Brown grand jury proceedings.
BOTTOM ROW FROM LEFT: Sarah Wolcott-Twaddle spoke about gender discrimination; Caya Tanski-
French read the names of people unjustly killed by authorities; and Wiley Miller spoke of "Miles to Go."

Rev. Molly led the Joys and Sorrows Prayer.
