Faith in Action is Church of the Advent’s lay-person-led and clergy-supported social justice community. Its goal is to facilitate ways to take action and make changes in our lives that reflect our Christian teachings and beliefs. As Joan Baez said, "Action is the antidote to despair." We seek to uplift others, use our voice within the systems around us, and embody what it means to "love thy neighbor."
Within the group, we will share ideas on how to make a difference daily and in long-term community projects. All are welcome to attend.
We meet once a month after coffee hour.
