In addition to Cobb commemorations of the Martin Luther King Jr. national holiday on Monday (see the bottom of the post), East Cobb’s Holy Trinity Lutheran Church will be holding a special MLK worship service.
It’s Sunday at 3 p.m. at the church (2922 Sandy Plains Road), and the public is invited to attend. Here’s what Holy Trinity is sharing with the community about the service:
You are invited to this special once a year event as we share the love of Christ and live out the reality of being family of God together in worship. Come be part of this Lutheran service with multicultural expression. We will have organ and choir, drums and liturgical dancers, singing, praying, and gathering together at the table. We are also blessed to have Bishop Kevin Strickland share God’s Word with us in the message. This year’s theme is “A Foretaste,” which reminds us both of God’s overarching purpose and blessing for us, as well as what we strive for together in response to God’s amazing grace.
Come early for a seat and to experience inspirational pre-service music and dance. In the spirit of the foretaste, all are welcome and invited to a reception immediately following the service. This year is the first year our annual service has come to East Cobb. Come, let us celebrate and worship together as the one body of Christ!
For more information please contact the church at churchoffice@holytrinitymarietta.org or call 770-971-4600.
Cobb County government offices will be closed Monday.
The county’s official MLK observance takes place Monday at 10 a.m. at the Cobb Civic Center’s Jennie T. Anderson Theatre (548 S. Marietta Parkway).WSB-TV anchor Fred Blankenship will serve as emcee.
The event will also feature the annual presentation of the “Living the Dream” award by the Cobb branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This honor is given to community members who demonstrate leadership and commitment to making our county more diverse and inclusive.
