Promoting Social and Economic Fairness

Current Activities:

• Dedicated a prayer honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. at the services on April 6th.
• Set up a Greeting Card rack in the church lobby, the hope being that church members will use these cards to reach out to members of our church community and/or use them in place of cards they would normally purchase at a store. A Love Offering is requested and all proceeds support the Justice Circle Ministries.
• Sponsored Justice Sunday Worship Services October 1, 2008.
