Dr. Martin Luther King was taken from the world
on this date in 1968. Prayer was an integral part of his life and
his mission. It was his prayer that all people would live together
in unity with respect for every other soul regardless of race, creed,
gender or philosophy. HIs dream is still not a reality. Come join in
prayer to honor his mission to pray that his dream will become a reality,
to lift up his life.
