Micah 6:8 reminds us, “What is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” As we look at the brokenness of the world, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and unaware of what is happening or how to help. Recognizing that huddle, we are excited to beginning a monthly Peace and Justice Forum with leaders in various service arenas coming to share what they know about pressing issues of our day. We will have a potluck dinner and presentation beginning at 5 pm on the following Sundays: February 16, March 16, April 27, and May 18.
