Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! We pray you will take time today to reflect on the history, accomplishments, struggles, cultures, and lives of Indigenous peoples in your community and around the world.

It’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Celebrated on the second Monday in October, this day is dedicated to recognizing the strength and cultural richness of Indigenous communities. It’s essential to confront the history of colonization and advocate for justice. Let’s use this day to uplift Indigenous voices and acknowledge their vital contributions.
