Access Services Employee Represents WFCA at Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Service

Donna Donnelly, Community and Provider Resource coordinator at Access Services, shared greetings on behalf of the Wissahickon Faith Community Association (WFCA) at the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Service, Monday, January 21, 2002.  The service was held at Congregation Beth OR in Ambler, also a member of the WFCA.

In her greeting to the 1,000 attendees, Donnelly emphasized that King was a man of character, a man of deep conviction, and a godly man.  She reiterated King’s thoughts from his February 28, 1954 Rediscovering Lost Values sermon in which King questions humanity’s belief in moral law, and ways it justifies doing wrong.  Donnelly ended by stating King’s view that God created the universe to be based on moral law.    We must know the simple disciplines of being honest, loving and just with all humanity.  If we don’t learn it, we will destroy ourselves.  Material things will come and go, but God will last forever.

The Wissahickon Faith Community Association is made up professionals from 25 churches, synagogues, and religious-based social service agencies and schools, who meet on a regular basis to network and plan ecumenical community events.   WFCA also sponsors and supports special holiday events and special community projects.

For over 25 years, Access Services, a non-profit faith-based organization, has provided innovative services to children and adults with special needs.  These services afford individuals the opportunity to live full and productive lives within their communities.   For more information on Access Services, call 215-540-2150, ext. 228.  Or, visit www.accessservices.org.
