Ministry of Racial Justice & Reconciliation Pilgrimage
Martin Luther King, Jr Day March
Monday, January 19 | 11:30am | Garfield High School
Register
This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let's join with our neighbors at the MLK Day March, a walk from Garfield High School in the Central District through downtown. This annual gathering is an opportunity to put our voices and feet together to remember the faith-filled legacy of Rev. Dr. King for racial justice, economic justice, and peace. Whether this is your first march or 100th, whether this is a familiar setting for you or one that stretches your comfort zone, let's see how God meets us in this setting.
These pilgrimages, hosted by the Ministry of Racial Justice and Reconciliation, are experiences that expand our understanding of our neighborhoods through the story and perspective of indigenous and marginalized communities. We want to see God’s work of justice and reconciliation right where we are. Each pilgrimage includes personal preparation prompts before the trip and reflection prompts afterward as a way of setting intention around the experience.
Adults and children (age dependent on the trip) are welcome! Pilgrimages in parks and neighborhoods include using paved and unpaved paths, up to 3 miles depending on the location.
