Join us for a transformative class that delves into the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his profound commitment to reconciliation by peaceful means. In "Unity and Understanding: MLK's Peaceful Means of Change," we will explore Dr. King's six principles of nonviolence and their application to our lives and communities today. Through engaging discussions, reflective exercises, and practical applications, participants will learn how to foster unity, promote understanding, and address conflicts peacefully. This class is designed to empower individuals to be agents of change, embracing the values of love, compassion, and justice in their daily interactions and broader social engagements, just as Jesus has called us to do.

Childcare & Lunch are provided for parents & children.
