“Who is My Neighbor” is based on the story of the Good Samaritan Jesus told in response to the question, “Who is my neighbor?” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. also used the story of the Good Samaritan in his final speech in Memphis just before he was assassinated in 1968. The recipient of the 10Th annual award needs to meet these criteria:
- Acts out of a religious faith base.
- Is caring and compassionate.
- Is community oriented.
- Is a good neighbor to all.
- Lives within Linn County.
We are meeting today to look at this year's nominees. We encourage you to attend this year's Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration held on January 19, 2009 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul's UMC. All are welcome.
peace
