On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we pause to honor a faith-filled vision that still calls us forward—a vision of beloved community, courageous love, and justice rooted in compassion. At Noblesville First United Methodist Church, Dr. King’s witness echoes our own clear and courageous calling: to embrace all people with the love of Jesus—with no exceptions. We believe faith should change lives, service should build justice, and love should look like Jesus—always open, always welcoming, always transforming. As we remember Dr. King, we recommit ourselves to living out that vision in tangible ways throughout our community, making it visible that everyone belongs and Christ’s love truly has no exceptions.
Beyond the Quote: Unpacking King's Legacy and Building Bridges Today
Friday, January 16 at 6:30-8PM | Noblesville First
Join us for a Community Conversation that engages with the fuller picture of King's legacy - including the parts that challenge and convict us. Together, we'll explore what his vision of the Beloved Community asks of us today and how we can build bridges of hope and justice in our own lives and community. The goal is civil conversation, increased understanding, and widening perspectives that result in a more welcoming and inclusive community. Through structured, respectful dialogue, we'll share personal reflections and grapple with thought provoking questions. Just bring yourself, an open mind, and a willingness to engage honestly.
