Live to Serve – Honoring the Dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?'” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
“If you want to be important—wonderful. If you want to be recognized—wonderful. If you want to be great—wonderful. But recognize that he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. That’s a new definition of greatness…
Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Let’s remember the legacy and dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. His vision was one of service, unity, leadership, faith and community. We can all play a part in making it more vivid today, through the words we choose to speak, the ways we choose to impact our community and in the love and kindness we show to others.

— Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
