  • to work for human rights for all people, including Muslims, Jews, other minority religious groups, women, LGBTQ+, and more

Discussion:

  • We began conversation around ecojustice and food today.  Debbie shared some food facts in the form of a series of “WHEREAS”es for a resolution for the General Assembly of the Christian Church (DOC), which will take place July 29-August 1 in Louisville, KY.  If we go forward with writing a resolution, it is due no later than January 30.  

Joys and Concerns:

  • Lisa’s grandmother passed away this past week.  Lisa joined her family for the memorial service.
  • Doretta’s granddaughter, Sarah, had her baby.  Baby Millie and family are doing well!
  • Evergreen Christian Church has a ministerial candidate visiting onsite this week.
  • Janet celebrates that Gregory is holding his own; her brother, however, is facing some very serious health challenges of his own.
  • Ann is doing better after a prolonged bout with bronchitis. 
  • Phil C. has a virus.  Though it’s not COVID, it’s taking its toll.
  • Tory’s friend, Eva, passed away this week.
