Join us virtually on Monday, Jan. 18, 2021, at 10 a.m. EST as we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We invite you and your entire family to watch the virtual MLK Day program, then join us for one of our virtual service projects.
To view the program at 10 a.m. on MLK Day, visit fbcglenarden.org/watchnow.
Note: All projects are to be completed at home and dropped off at the Worship Center. No projects will take place on-site.
Registration is NOT required.
While we may be in a virtual environment, remember that MLK Day is a day on, not off. In honor of the life of service that Dr. King committed to, we have several opportunities for our church to participate in a variety of service projects. Members that are in the Washington, D.C. metro area can drop their projects off on Monday, Jan. 18, 2021, from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the Worship Center. Bring the family along for a sweet treat in exchange for your service project contribution. The drop-off is a drive-thru effort and we ask that masks be worn at the point of distribution.
If you are a member through the Online Campus and would like to participate in the MLK Day service projects, please send an email to online@fbcglenarden.org for options to participate.
