Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade – saturday, January 15th, 2022 10am
Horizon has a long history of marching in Carrollton’s MLK Jr. Parade. We walk because it is a way to reawaken the community’s memory of Dr. King’s legacy. We walk because many people are too young to have been involved with his struggle to bring equality to all people and need to be reminded of what he did. We walk because racism still exists in our society, and we want to let society know that we need to continue the fight to eliminate it. 2022 Parade Info

Walk to End Alzheimer’s
In honor of Horizon’s Candle Lighters, “Horizon Champions” participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This 3-mile walk is on a Saturday morning in September. The morning starts with registration, booths, music and some very inspirational stories from those that are living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. Please consider walking with us or donating to a walker or our team.
“THis is what democracy looks like”
Our faith calls us to keep showing up. Civic engagement is a vital part of living out our values. The 5th principle affirmed and promoted by UU congregations is “the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.” Watch the Action News page for public witness opportunities.
