Chicago-area Churches invitation

The Chicago-area Church of the Brethren congregations invite people from the entire district to a Martin Luther King, Jr. Sunday worship service. The theme is, “Peace for a new decade: a Church of the Brethren gathering in celebration of the ministry of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” The service will bring together members of the Chicago-area congregations as well as members and participants from the two new church-planting projects: in the Douglas Park community of Chicago, and in the city of Rockford. The speaker will be Samuel Sarpiya, of the Rockford church plant; youth from the congregations will perform music, dance and drumming.

The service will be Sunday, January 17, at 5:00 p.m., at the First Church of the Brethren, 425 S. Central Park Blvd., Chicago. A meal will follow the service. Everyone is invited.
