service for social justice — february 22
Two statements have recently come from our Bishop and the Council of Bishops condemning the recent tragic events concerning immigrants and their treatment as well as a statement reaffirming the churches stance on Social Justice. The statement from the Council of Bishops is enclosed as well as information on coming events for our congregation and community. Also enclosed is information concerning a day of nationwide sharing on Wednesday, February 25th at 10:00 AM.
In response to this there will be a special service of worship held on Sunday, February 22nd at our regular worship time. The liturgy, scripture, and music will speak to the need for more open support for human rights and social justice. Other local churches and the community will be invited to attend.
After worship there will be a time of fellowship when Reverend Daniel Smith will share with us his experiences from his travel and participation in the resistance in Minneapolis. We are fortunate to have his participation and witness. Please invite others to attend this meaningful day of sharing. Hopefully it will be a first step in our goal to "do justice". (Micah 6)
