Social Justice Concerns

Believing with the universal church that action on behalf of justice is an essential dimension of the mission of the church and the preaching of the gospel, the Social Justice Concerns Committee undertakes a program of education and action to bring about a more just society. 

Meetings:  The second Wednesday of each month at 6:15 pm in the community room for a short business meeting followed by a presentation at 7:00 pm on the topic introduced the previous weekend by the Seamless Garment Editorial Committee.
