LET US PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY

In a time when our country is so divided, the Tri-County Clergy Association come together to unite our voices and take a stand against racism and injustice, and recognize that we are all part of God’s family. Join with us for a worship service on Sunday, January 14th 7:00 PM at West Milford Presbyterian Church (1452 Union Valley Rd. West Milford). Join with churches of different denominations as we come together and celebrate that we are all God’s beloved children. The service will be interactive and there will be opportunities to share our dreams for the future; as we gather to remember the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and the movement that he was an integral part of, as they fought for the civil rights of all people. Let us work together to build a better world.
