Our February series is “Freedom Songs of the Civil Rights Movement.” In his book, Why We Can’t Wait (1964), Martin Luther King Jr. said that civil rights activists “sing the freedom songs today for the same reason the slaves sang them, because we too are in bondage and the songs add hope to our determination that ‘We shall overcome, Black and white together, We shall overcome someday.’” The freedom songs of the civil rights movement inspired, empowered, and brought people together for change. Their power continues to move us today.

All are welcome to join us at our 10:30 am worship service!
