窪做惇蹋厙 Celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
On Monday, Jan. 16, the 窪做惇蹋厙 community came together to remember Martin Luther King, Jr., and his legacy.
The theme of this years celebration was I have decided to stick with love…Hate is too great a burden to bear. That quote comes from a speech, Where Do We Go From Here? that King delivered in 1967 to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
Students, faculty, staff, and other members of the 窪做惇蹋厙 community gathered in Ozinga Chapel for the celebration. 窪做惇蹋厙 students offered poetry, songs, prayer, skits, and miming. Participants included:
- Roberto Josiah Rosario
- Brianna Darling-Cox
- Amber Brazelton
- Terry Currin
- Soraya Limon
- Karlyn Boens
- Sierra Hernandez
- ShinHye Hwang
窪做惇蹋厙s Gospel Choir, Worship Coordinator Nicole Saint-Victor, and Greg Saint-Victor celebrated Kings life through music. Pres. Kurt D. Dykstra, J.D., opened with prayer, and Dr. Aaron Kuecker, 窪做惇蹋厙s provost, provided a reading from I Corinthians 13.
In his message, Troy Schemper, director of student programs, urged those in attendance to continue their efforts to complete Kings work. Dont mistake progress for completion, Schemper urged.
