JusticeOffering of Letters
(Once

Just
as we use gifts of time, talent, and resources, we are called to use the
gift of our citizenship to work on behalf of the poor. We participate in
Bread for the World’s annual Offering of Letters, calling on our elected
representatives to seek justice for the world’s hungry people. Caring for Creation
(On-going) Contact: Bill Ireland 952-454-3873
This
group works on environmental projects, educating others on caring for
All of God’s creation and tackling policies that affect the world we
live in. They host an environmental fair each year and hold adult forums
to educate and bring about discussion on a variety of “green” topics. Justice for All
(Once
each year) Contact: Lisa Hegerman 952-985-7329
This
is a multi-generational event that focuses on a justice issue such as
local poverty, homelessness, affordable housing etc. All age levels are
included in both an educational and service component. Guest speakers
are typically invited to speak on the topic, basing their talk on the
age group with whom they will be working. SAIL (Showing All Individuals Love)
