...Today’s Justice and Witness Listening Session!Don’t go anywhere after worship this morning. Just come next door to Fellowship Hall, grab a couple of cookies and a cup of punch and join us for an hour of good conversation!
We are hosting our Justice and Witness Listening Session today immediately following the worship service. Every single UCC Congregation in the Southwest Region has been asked to participate in one of these sessions, and today is ours!
It is a one-hour conversation built around two questions:
Can you tell me EVERYTHING that your congregation is doing for your community?
What issues are on your heart - locally, nationally and globally - that need to be addressed?
Those two questions are purposefully open-ended and vague. The hope is that they elicit good conversation and get us thinking and talking about the justice issues that face us.
This is grass-roots style organizing at its very best. Instead of our Conference Justice and Witness Committee telling us what we need to be doing and imposing actions upon us, they want to hear our voices. They want to know our passions. They want to help us share our stories with other UCC churches that we can build strong alliances and covenant partnerships together.
So don’t go anywhere after worship this morning. We need your voice and your story at the Listening Session!
Yours in the journey, Rev. Brian
