The Journey of 'The Dream'
jeremyandheather
We are looking to put together an art show that honors "The Dream"… Martin Luther King, Jr made "The Dream" famous in his 1963 speech, but the reality is that the dream wasn't first his. It was a dream that would become a reality through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, whereby the dividing wall between the races was once and for all brought down.
Its true we don’t yet see, in full, the unity that has been purchased, but we do see glimpses of it! And many of those glimpses we see here, in New City Church.
Help us fill the walls of The 567 with photographic evidence of the grace of God toward his people! Take some photos, bring some photos, help show our city what is possible because of Jesus! The photo above is an example of change - Pastor Lawrence Robinson marrying a New City Couple in a beautiful, public ceremony here in Macon.
Call for Artists
The 567 is currently seeking entries for their January exhibit, “Black & White.” In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, “Black & White” will feature black and white photography that explores modern-day issues of race and equality. Dr. King was an instrumental part of the Civil Rights movement that has far reaching implications for not just African-Americans, but for all races. “Black & White” may include photos that celebrate these accomplishments for all races or that address the challenges that racial minorities still face. The 567 plans to feature amateur photographers alongside professionals, so even high-quality cell phone photography may be included.
