The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday honors a man who brought hope and healing to America. He taught us timeless values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service.
The Anti-Racism Team, the Greater Wichita Ministerial League and Wichita State University invite you to attend “Building Bridges” a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day worship celebration beginning at noon on Monday, Jan. 20, at the Eugene M. Hughes Metropolitan Complex, on the Wichita State University campus.
The Special Guest Speaker is Rev. Dr. Cynthia Hale, founder and Senior Pastor of the Ray of Hope Christian Church in Decatur, Georgia.
As a woman of vision, Dr. Hale is revered worldwide for her leadership, integrity, and compassion. Her vision and leadership led her to establish two ministries; Elah Pastoral Ministries, Inc. and the Women in Ministry Conference, Inc.
As a recipient of numerous honors and recognitions, Dr. Hale was inducted into the African American Biographies Hall of Fame, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Board of Preachers of Morehouse College, and the Atlanta Business League Women’s Hall of Fame.
In 2009, Dr. Hale was appointed by President Barack Obama to serve on the President’s Commission on White House Fellowships. She also served as a member of the 2016 Platform Committee for the Democratic National Convention and delivered the Invocation at the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
