2013 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Candlelight Vigil
Please bring a candle and lots of love and hugs to the annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Candlelight Vigil on Monday, January 21, 2013.
The theme of this year's Candlelight Vigil is "Shouldering Our Homeless," and coincidentally, happens on Inauguration Day of President Barack Obama's second term of office in Washington, D.C.
The Candlelight Vigil will be held in the Central Baptist Church parking lot, 301 Carver Street, Kingsport, Rev. Ricardo Dorcean, pastor. It begins at 6 PM, and in case of rain, the event will be held inside the church.
The event is sponsored by the New Vision Youth. Everyone is welcome to come out and remember loved ones lost over the past year, as we celebrate the life and times of Dr. King.
