Come celebrate the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Haywood will once again be the Organist and Guest Conductor. Martin Luther King’s stirring ‚ÄúI Have a Dream‚Äù speech will be read by Dr. Ronald Crutcher, president emeritus at University of Richmond, and prayers will be offered by the Rt. Rev. E. Mark Stevenson, Bishop of Virginia.

On Monday the 20th at 10 am, we’ll be hosting a reading of MLK’s ‚ÄúLetter from Birmingham Jail.” The readers include many local clerics and laypeople, including Richmond Mayor Danny Avula.
