Second Baptist Church joined with the Inner City Cycling Connection (ICCC) to mark the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and pray for healing in African American communities throughout Los Angeles.
An hour-long prayer session, led by Second Baptist Pastor William S. Epps, kicked-off the event, which also featured participation by more than 50 cyclists. Also, community members could take advantage of free testing for COVID-19.
