Our Top Teens had a very busy and meaningful weekend! 💙💗
From induction to honoring a powerful legacy, our teens proudly served throughout Effingham County. They participated in the Effingham County MLK Parade, assisted with posting MLK posters at the MLK program venue, and handed out care bags to our local senior citizens.
To our newly inducted teen — we are SO proud of you and excited to watch you serve our community with excellence and purpose! 🌟
On MLK Day, we honored the life, legacy, and sacrifice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His courage to stand for justice—despite threats, violence, and ultimately the loss of his life—paved the way for freedoms so many benefit from today.
Dr. King believed that change does not come through hate or silence, but through love, courage, and unwavering faith in humanity. Because he dared to dream, barriers were broken, laws were changed, and generations were empowered to walk paths once denied.
His sacrifice reminds us that progress is not free—it is paid for by those willing to stand up when it’s uncomfortable, speak out when it’s risky, and keep going when the cost is high.
May we continue to honor his legacy not just in words, but in action—by choosing justice, equality, and compassion every day.
🕊️ “The time is always right to do what is right.”
