Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2026 — Why We Must Remember
Today we honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.—a pastor, a peacemaker, and a man called by God to confront injustice with courage, conviction, and love.
Born in 1929, Dr. King rose to national prominence during the Civil Rights Movement, leading nonviolent efforts to challenge racial segregation, discrimination, and inequality in America. Grounded in his Christian faith and inspired by biblical justice, he believed that lasting change could not be achieved through hatred or violence, but through moral clarity, disciplined resistance, and sacrificial love.
His words stirred a nation. His actions exposed uncomfortable truths. And his unwavering commitment to justice ultimately cost him his life when he was assassinated in 1968.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not merely a remembrance—it is a call. A call to examine our conscience. A call to pursue justice without bitterness. A call to speak truth with humility and courage. And a call to remember that progress is never guaranteed; it must be protected, stewarded, and renewed by every generation.
Forgetting the past weakens the future. Remembering it wisely strengthens us all.
You are in our prayers today as we reflect, remember, and recommit.
