Martin Luther King Jr Celebration Postponed

Posted: January 14 2024 at 02:03 PM

The Martin Luther King Jr Celebration planned for Jan. 14 at St Mark United Methodist Church in Chicago has been postponed.

“The extreme cold convinced us that for public safety, moving the event to the later date would be the best choice,” said Rev. Fabiola Grandon-Mayer, director of connectional ministries of the Northern Illinois Conference of The United Methodist Church. “This has been a popular annual event, and we look forward to holding the event later this season.”

Watch for announcements of the new date and time in the coming weeks.
