Hope, JOY and Resistance
Norma Bailey
Given everything that is unfolding in the United States and in the world, how do we find
and hold on to hope and joy in our lives? As well, how do we use hope and joy to help
us resist the negative impact in our lives? In this service, we will explore a response to
these questions through words and music.

Martin Luther King
Rev. Drew Frantz
Unitarian Universalists follow the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in envisioning a ‘beloved community’ where love unites and frees us. On this day every year we celebrate the life and work of Dr. King and re-dedicate ourselves to the version of the American dream he articulated. This year, the holiday comes as protests and violence dominate our national attention, begging the questions: How does this moment compare to the civil rights movement led by Dr. King? What lessons and inspiration can we take from Dr. King to help us today?
