Pastor Fannie Dean said the theme of Sunday’s celebration is “let us move on,” and it will include lots of singing, dancing, eating, laughing, joy and peace.

Jessica Vester, a 12-year -old middle school student, will read one of King’s sermons titled “Love Your Enemies.”

“We should still treat them as everybody else,” Vester said during a rehearsal Thursday.

More than a dozen people spent their Thursday evening rehearsing and practicing songs and dances in preparation of the celebration.
