Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” On MLK Day, we pause to honor his unwavering dedication to a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. At Palmer Memorial Chapel, we see his legacy as a guiding light, challenging us to serve one another with understanding and love. Amidst today’s struggles, may we all be inspired to walk in his footsteps and continue working toward the dream he so courageously shared with the world.
