JANUARY FOCUS—DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
The 250th Anniversary Task Force has identified some ways you can pray, serve, and give during the month of January. During our year-long commemoration of 250 years as a congregation serving our Lord, we seek to move closer to our vision of “A Church Engaged, A Community Healed, A World Transformed.” In January, we will focus on supporting and celebrating diversity and inclusion in our community through acts of prayer, service and generosity.
Be the living hands of Christ through prayer.
• In the awareness that we are one with all God’s human creation, pray about the issues that confront us all.
Pray…
…for liberation from racism, bigotry and injustice
…for each member of the human family, that all may know the dignity and worth of being a child of God
…for solutions to our common human dilemmas, and for our dedication to being part of those solutions.
