*Celebrating Human Relations Sunday, Jan. 19th - is one of 6 special Sundays in the UMC. We set this day aside, the closest Sunday to the Rev. Dr. Martin Lu-ther King, Jr's birthday, as a call to the Church "to recognize the right of all God's children in realizing their potential as human beings in relationship with each oth-er."

Thank you for your generosity!
