Martin Luther King, the leader of the civil rights movement, a pastor, and one of our century’s greatest leaders spoke a message of non-violence to overturn unjust laws. He quotes the book of Amos by saying, “let justice roll down like waters, and mercy like an ever flowing spring”. He continues to be an inspiration to so many. It seems appropriate that we would use his birthday weekend to share Christ with our brother’s and sister’s dealing with poverty.
This year’s event is Sunday Jan. 15 and Monday Jan. 16th. Join us for a night of worship from 4PM-6PM at Tuskegee Methodist Church (202 S. Main Street, Tuskegee).

In previous years we’ve held a youth mission weekend, however this year we changed this event to be a day of service on Monday with a worship service on Sunday evening to kick off the event. This two day event was an effort to bring the community together in service on a day now recognized as national day of service. On Sunday, January 16 Alabama Rural Ministry hosted the worship service at Tuskegee Methodist Church in Tuskegee, AL to kick off the Great Day of Service held Monday, January 17. This day of service commemorates Martin Luther King, Jr’s passion for service. Check out the video below to see a snapshot of those two days:
