On Monday, January 16, 2023, Glen Mar Church will be hosting the ninth annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. This ‘in-person’ event will take place at Glen Mar Church with Ames Memorial UMC and St. John Baptist Church as co-hosts.
The Day of Service provides family-friendly short-term service activities for ages 5 to 105. Activities at MLK, Jr. Day of Service connect us to the community so that our grandparents, parents, young adults, and children can show their love to our neighbors. It will meet some of the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs in our local community. Our collective efforts will make the community more resilient and healthier place.
