Calvary Baptist Church and St. Luke's Episcopal Church will join together in a celebration of the legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Sunday at 4 p.m. at St. Luke's Church.

Baptist, Episcopal, Jewish, Catholic, and Presbyterian clergy will lead the interfaith community service, which will include music, prayers, and songs. A potluck dinner will follow in the church hall.

This event replaces the annual Martin Luther King service previously held at Calvary Baptist in honor of the late civil rights icon.
