Just Peace

Mondays at 6:30 beginning Ausgust 31st

Just Peace

just peaceWhy the "Just"--because there can be no peace without justice, so we are a group that gathers to discuss and act in ways that bring about justice and peace. 

  

Join us on Monday nights--we're small, informal and still finding our identity.  On the 2nd Monday of the month we help serve at the local food kitchen. 

Our first series focuses on human rights and immigration.  While it's important to talk about borders and laws, as people of faith--we start the conversation with our shared humanity and look to Scripture for guidance--Abraham, Moses, Ruth, and Jesus were all strangers in a foreign land, immigrants and people on the way.

August 31st--Documentary and refreshments (We're hoping for The Wall)

September 7th--Labor day: no meeting 

September 14th--Serve at the Food Kitchen: no meeting

September 21st--Looking at Scripture:  Sojourners Study

September 28th--Documentary:  Invisible Chapel

September 26th and 27th--Tucson Humane Borders Trip  $35.00 limit 12

  • Visit with border ministries (No More Deaths and Humane Borders)
  • Gates Pass Sunset and dinner picnic
  • Sunday church at SouthSide Presbyterian Church--home of the Sanctuary Movement of the 80's and beyond
  • Sunday afternoon memorial service for the immigrants who died in our desert this past year
  • Hang out at U of A's campus

Summer trip to Honduras to build two houses and to be in community with people who are struggling with issues of poverty and political oppression.     

 

We'll also just hang out, eat and have some fun--so just come on Mondays at 6:30. 

 

 

"Cowardice asks the question - is it safe?
Expediency asks the question - is it politic?
Vanity asks the question - is it popular?
But conscience asks the question - is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular
but one must take it because it is right."

--- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. [Source]

 

Watch for updates on our summer mission trip to Honduras.  Sign ups and fundraising will begin in October.
