Social Justice Task Force News
The Social Justice Task Force (SJTF) meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month to watch a short video and have discussion after. Our topics range from racial justice to implicit biases to LGBT community to whatever else is appropriate to caring for our community as God calls us to care for one another.
Our next meeting is Tuesday, July 13 at 7:00pm. The format is hybrid, so you can go to church and join us in the Resource Library or join us on Zoom.
We will also meet on Tuesday, August 10 at 7:00pm in the same way!
Topics are still being determined and will be announced shortly.
