Porch Talks For A Beloved Community Returns August 12, 2023!
August 12, 2023 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Mark your calendar and plan to join us on the lawn of East View UCC, 17300 Van Aken Blvd. for our annual Porch Talk! This event is co-sponsored by Heights Christian Church, East View UCC, and Plymouth UCC. This year’s event will be at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 12, at the site where the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke from the porch 58 years ago.
The Rev. Dr. Marvin McMickle, who spoke during the first Porch Talks season in 2019, returns as this year’s speaker. The title of his talk is “No Room in the Inn, Part 2.” Music will be a combined choir, with members of all 3 sponsoring congregations.
The event is free and open to the public, and will be held outdoors (unless inclement weather requires a move inside). You are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket. A reception with light refreshments will follow the program.
The Porch Talks series provides a continued call to work toward the “Beloved Community” that Dr. King envisioned, where all forms of discrimination, bigotry, and prejudice will be replaced by an all-inclusive spirit of sisterhood and brotherhood.
