Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Honoring Faith and Justice

Martin Luther King Jr. Day  is an important day to honor the life and legacy of a man who fought for justice, equality, and peace. King’s commitment to nonviolent protest and his deep Christian faith offer valuable lessons for families.

This holiday can be an opportunity to teach children about the importance of justice, equality, and love for all people, values that align with Christian teachings. Here are some ways to celebrate:

• Learn about Martin Luther King Jr Day.: Share stories and teachings about Dr. King’s life, his faith, and his vision for a more just world.

  
  

• Serve Others: Participate in a community service project as a family. Dr. King’s legacy is rooted in helping others, and serving those in need is a powerful way to honor his memory.

  
  

• Pray for Unity and Peace: Spend time praying for healing, unity, and peace in your community and the world, asking God to help us all live out His command to love our neighbors.

  
  

We pray each of our students and families learn valuable lessons today and how to learn more about Martin Luther King Jr.
