Social Justice Sunday

Just a few thoughts

·        All of us should make time to read the Social Justice Statement – “Cry of the Earth, Cry of the Poor.” There should be copies available at our church. You can also download free copies to your Computer , Tablet or Smartphone Check it out here

·        We pray for the whole people of God, that they will hear the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.  --  Lord, hear us.
