Celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!

EECM’s 25th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration
Sunday, January 18, at 3:30 pm
Eastminster Presbyterian Church


This January marks the 25th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration to be held by EECM and the Council of Congregations. It is the only time each year when all of the congregations come together in an interfaith worship service.

The service will be held on Sun., Jan. 18, at Eastminster Presbyterian Church, 250 North Highland Ave. Music performed by several groups and individuals will begin at 3:30 pm. The Worship Service will begin with a Congregational Role Call at 4 pm. Bishop David Zubic, of the Pittsburgh Catholic Diocese, will speak.

Prior to the worship service, Bill Wharton, ‘the Sauce Boss’, will play and sing spicy Florida blues, while cooking gumbo for all. Lunch will begin at 1:30 pm, in Eastminster Presbyterian Church’s Fellowship Hall. There’ll also be a vegetarian soup. The suggested donation for the lunch is $8/ person over 12 years of age.

A reception will follow the worship service. Please come for the afternoon, and help us celebrate at this year’s very special event! For questions or more information, call 412.361.5549 x411.

Thanks for advertising the MLK event. We're very excited about marking the 25th anniversary of this special celebration.

Your blog is a great idea! EECM has a blog, too (www.eecmblog.org). Would you consider adding that link below our website in your "related links" section?
