Justice Ministries
UCC First Congregational Justice Ministries has formed six justice teams. We are committed to each team's justice concerns and identify resources related to each team's focus. We have 30 congregational members involved with one or more of the five justice priorities identified by the congregation:
-
Mental Health
-
Creation Justice
-
Poverty
-
DEI/LGBTQ+
-
Community Building
Every other month, we will host a Justice Sunday. On Justice
Sunday, we will have a justice-focused presentation and provide time for the multiple justice groups to meet. We will have 5-6 Justice Sundays per year. Upcoming meetings are:
-
January 26, 2025
-
March 23, 2025
-
May 25, 2025
These are NOT standing committees with elected members but rather open tables when congregational members gather to lead our congregation into deeper discipleship and impact. Come sit with us.
