Hartford Seminary will be closed on Monday, Jan. 21, for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We encourage everyone to find a way to celebrate the life of the civil rights icon during the long weekend that honors him.

Many places of worship will hold special events, including the annual event at the 3,000-seat First Cathedral in Bloomfield on Sunday, Jan. 20, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Please check your place of worship for events or peruse this list of area events compiled by the Hartford Courant.
