Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the leader of the civil rights movement, a pastor, and one of our century’s greatest leaders spoke and lived a message of non-violence to overturn unjust laws. He often quoted the prophet Amos who once proclaimed, ”
let justice roll down like waters, and mercy like an ever flowing spring.” Dr. King continues to be an inspiration to so many today. It seems appropriate that we would celebrate his birthday weekend by sharing in Christ’s love with our brothers and sisters and serving together in our community.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. modeled greatness through service and gave us a model of peace and non-violence as we partner together to see a more just and equitable world. Dr. King gave a vision of becoming the beloved community,
a vision of what a world that follows Jesus looks like. This is why ARM engages in this annual “day on, not day off” day of service. Once again, ARM and the Macon County Ministers’ Council will link arms and partner together!

Why do we host the MLK weekend of service?

To fulfill our vision of transforming rural communities with sustainable homes, strong families, and strategic community partnerships for the glory of God. It’s another way of building servant leaders! ARM values our partnerships with
our Macon County churches and organizations. Tuskegee was the center of the voting rights movement and is an awesome way for us to continue to heal our wounds of racial brokenness!
