Our blog is beginning now. It will provide information about the upcoming event on January 19, 2009, which will mark the 10Th anniversary of the "Who Is My Neighbor" Award. In addition, we will reflect on past Martin Luther King Day Celebrations held at St. Paul's UMC.
This year's offering will be shared with the African American Historical Museum & Cultural Center of Iowa.
On June 13, 2008 the
Museum took a tremendous hit from the flooding on the Cedar River in
downtown Cedar Rapids.
Past Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Celebrations have included outstanding recipients of the "Who Is My Neighbor" Award, keynote speakers from various places, outstanding music from guest soloists, the gospel choir of the Johnson Elementary School of the Arts, Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Men's Chorus and various music from St. Paul's UMC.
We are beginning to organize this year's event. We invite you to stop by to learn more about the event and the event's history.
Again, we invite you to join us on January 19, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Paul's UMC, 1340 Third Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52403. The church's phone number is 319-363-2058.
