The Macomb County Ministerial Alliance will host the 2026 Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast on Jan. 19. This gathering will honor Dr. King's life and work with the theme "Chaos or Community — Where Do We Go from Here?"

That theme pulls from King's own words, urging people to pick unity and justice when times get tough. Last year over 500 people showed up.

Bishop Corletta Vaughn will speak at the program. Musical guest Lisa Page Brooks will perform too.

The breakfast will feature scholarship awards and chances to meet others in the community. People attending can connect while remembering what King stood for.

Doors open for networking at 8 a.m. The breakfast and program start at 9 a.m. It happens at Penna's of Sterling, which sits at 38400 Van Dyke Ave. in Sterling Heights.

Tickets run $50 each. To buy one, call 586-799-2626.
