Jan 2026 Martin Luther King Jr Day Parade alongside Our Legacy in honor and memory of Javares “Mr. Keys” Helmes

Black Bottom House of Prayer proudly participated in the January 2026 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade alongside our community partner, Our Legacy. This special march was held in honor and loving memory of Javares “Mr. Keys” Helmes — a gifted musician, servant leader, and cherished community member whose life and legacy continue to inspire faith, unity, and purpose.

Together, we marched to celebrate Dr. King’s vision of service, compassion, and community empowerment while honoring the lasting impact of Mr. Helms’ contributions through music, ministry, and outreach. This moment represented not only remembrance, but a renewed commitment to building legacy, strengthening community ties, and serving the Paramore neighborhood with hope and action.

Pastor Jackson highlights the difference between grants for building restoration and the ongoing need to fund essential services for the community, referencing Ezra 7.

“They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.” (Ezr 3:7)

“And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.” (Ezr 7:28)

“This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.” (Ezr 7:6)
