Greater Rochester Area Celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

 

The Rochester Area Ministerial Association in partnership with Rochester Community Schools will sponsor a celebration in honor of the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at a service to be held on Sunday, January 16, 2011 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at St. Paul's United Methodist Church, 620 Romeo Rd. in Rochester.

 

The event will feature presentations from the student essay contest winners, Lake Orion Drummers, children's choirs from multiple churches and public schools, liturgical dancers, and light refreshments. This event will include Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan K. Barnett and Rochester Mayor Jeffrey Cuthbertson 'call to action' for the cities' 'Make a Difference Day' in April.

 

The Rev. Dr. Ken Johnson, retired psychologist who worked within the State of Michigan Prison System and developed the 'Peace Initiative: We'll Work for Peace' organization will speak on the theme of 'Service to the Community: Keeping Martin Luther King's Dream Alive'. The program is open to the public and is free of charge.

 

Background:

In January of 1995, a group of parents from the Paint Creek Unitarian Universalist Congregation approached Beverly Stone, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, to initiate plans for the first Martin Luther King Day celebration. In the following year, when, for the first time, the schools had a holiday for Martin Luther King Day, PCUUC worked with the school district to organize a Martin Luther King Day program, with Unitarian Universalist writer Rosemary Bray McNatt as speaker. The event which first drew 50 people has grown to hundreds of participants.

Harbor Springs get-a-way!
Winter weeks AND weekends are available!

  • The pines are whispering to you, the faint smell of hard wood pluming from chimneys and yes, that's you....sitting in front of the fireplace after a day of downhill skiing, cross country, snowmobiling, snowshoeing or snowballs!  Boyne and Nubs Knob are just up the road, about a 7 minute drive (about 4 - 5 miles) from the condo door!
  • Maybe the idea of a good long swim in the indoor pool followed by a, Jacuzzi or a toasty sauna and a movie or book by the fireplace is more appealing!
  • Out on the town?  Harbor Springs and nearby Petoskey offer an array of excellent restaurants and shopping as well as the new (2009) Odawa Casino in Petoskey.

This is the ideal place to take the entire family, group of friends or just escape by yourself..... or maybe with someone special.
