Faith & Justice

The Faith + Justice Team exists to study, pray, discern, and educate congregation, staff, and pastors on the intersection of Scripture and Praxis when it comes to God's justice.

If you are interested in this work, please talk to Pastor Jamie.

 

Dear Congregation,

The Faith & Justice team loves that we are a church that can come together around Jesus though we may have different opinions about many other things. We recognize that our world, our country, and even our community are holding a lot of tension.

“Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” Amos 5:24

In January and February, we will focus on the topic of Civil Rights. January 20 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, marking the birthday of the Baptist minister who led nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement. February is Black History Month.

Please join us in walking in the MLK Day march in downtown Spokane on Monday, January 20. The day before, after church, we’ll gather to make posters to carry in the walk.

The Adult Ed class during January and February will examine Dr. King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” Join Pastor Jamie as she leads us in learning about this inspiring historical document. January 12, 19, February 2, 9, 16.

Coming in January:

  • Adult Ed Class on MLK Jr's "Letter from Birmingham Jail." January 12, 19, February 2, 9, 16 after worship

    "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." These are immortal words written by MLK in his historic "Letter From A Birmingham Jail" which is the basis of our Adult Ed classes in January and February. You are encouraged to read the letter before the class begins January 12. (A PDF of which can be found on our website under the Faith & Justice tab, or print copies in the Fireside Room.)

  • Make a poster for the MLK Day March. January 19 after worship

  • Walk in the MLK Day March, downtown Spokane. January 20

 
 

MLK March

Monday, January 20

We are once again joining Spokane's Martin Luther King Center in their annual MLK Day march through downtown Spokane the morning of Monday, January 20. If you are unable to attend but want to still participate, stick around after worship on the 19th to make support signs with Faith and Justice.
