Highlands Community Ministries is pleased to announce the 3rd annual Summer Sampler Tour—an exciting opportunity to experience the many flavors of worship in the Highlands.
Whether you’re looking for a new spiritual home or just curious—come join us!
Beginning Sunday, June 9, join us for a free and fun way to sample interfaith services in the safety and support of a like-minded group.
Tour attendees board a van at the Highlands Community Campus (HCC), home of HCM, 1228 E. Breckinridge St. @ Barret Ave., for an early service at one of the participating congregations. The group then returns to the HCC for coffee, donuts and discussion, then leaves again for a later service that same morning (and in one case, the 2nd service is later in the afternoon).
Attendees also have the option of meeting us at the congregation building if that better meets their schedule.

Juneteenth Jubilee, a public celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the Lincoln Memorial at Waterfront Park will take place on June 19, 2019, from 7:30-9:15 p.m.
The 2019 Juneteenth Jubilee will begin at 2nd and Main on the KFC Yum! Center Plaza with a community gathering in remembrance of the thousands of enslaved Africans sold at this site in the 1800s. Grand Marshal Ed Hamilton and the River City Drum Corp will lead participants through Downtown Louisville in a march for freedom (approximately 1 mile) to Waterfront Park. At the Lincoln Memorial, sculpted by Hamilton a decade ago, a sunset performance will celebrate freedom, featuring guest speakers reading excerpts of the Emancipation Proclamation embellished by artistic responses from Jason Clayborn and the Atmosphere Changers. Other performances will include the River City Drum Corp, the Lanita Rocknettes, AMPED, and many more.
Concessions will be available for purchase during the Lincoln Memorial portion of the event.
This first community-wide Juneteenth Jubilee commemorates the final communication of the abolition of slavery in the United States on June 19, 1865. June 19th is "Juneteenth National Freedom Day" in Kentucky, in honor and reflection of the significant roles that African-Americans have played in the history of the United States.

Tuesday, June 11th 4:30-6:30pm, Seellbach Hotel, Regional Plenary session, “Designing the Healthy City of the Future”
This session provides an appropriate setting to discuss this important question. Louisville, Kentucky is currently serving as a laboratory for some of the nation’s most promising initiatives on community health and wellness. Bringing together a mix of perspectives on this issue from the design, medical, environmental, and community health fields to discuss this important issue will be valuable to breaking down the barriers among these fields, leading to a highly collaborative and fully integrated approach.
Wednesday, June 12, 5:30 – 7:00pm Louisville Palace, Opening Plenary Session, “Compassion at the Core: Toward a More Human City”
Since taking office in 2010, Mayor Greg Fischer has made compassion one of the pillars of his administration, and Louisville has become a leader in the Compassionate City movement. Much of the inspiration of this work has derived from the spirit, principles and the humanity of Muhammad Ali, Louisville’s most renowned native son. Hear from both Mrs. Ali and Mayor Fischer as they discuss the inspiration and the evolution of Louisville as a City of Compassion. Join us as well in recognizing the 2019 Legacy Projects that CNU sponsored with local Louisville neighborhood groups and volunteer design teams in four different neighborhoods this past March.
Thursday, June 13, 5:30 – 7:00pm Louisville Palace, Thursday Plenary Session, “Building Together: Urbanism as an engine for Resilient, Fair Communities”
This special two-part event challenges participants to reflect and act on our nation’s and the world’s most pressing challenges: the persistence of systematic inequalities in our cities and towns, and the coming climate change that is reinforcing and aggravating these inequalities. Come hear this critical conversation on recovering from disinvestment in cities in ways that uplift all residents and create thriving communities. Next, noted urbanist and author Douglas Kelbaugh illustrates the urgent challenges that climate change poses, as it creates proliferating physical, social, political and cultural problems 9and opportunities), especially in cities.
Saturday, June 15th 10:00 – 11:00pm Seelbach Hotel, Louisville Legacy Projects: 1) Woodlawn Avenue; 2) 18th Street Corridor
