In celebrating Martin Luther King’s birthday, look for ways to speak gently to a frightened population. The congregation will hear the beautiful hymn, “Gracious Lord,” Dr. King’s favorite hymn.

The Emerson Choir, under the direction of Scott Rieker, will sing, “The Storm is Passing Over Us.”

The Black Phoebes will perform the music, including “Back In The High Life Again” by Will Jennings and Steve Winwood and “The Stable Song” by Gregory Alan Isakov.
