For the past year, Mission & Outreach has been discerning where God might be calling us next, in this new chapter that is unfolding here at Epiphany. After much thought and discussion, we are excited to embark on a journey, a Journey to Justice. Mission & Outreach (M&O) will now be called Journey to Justice (J2J). We feel it is time to have the courage to let go of old priorities and to trust God leading us to new understanding and new action. We will embark on a journey from charity to justice, from learning and understanding to action and partnership, and from personal faith to taking out faith into the world. Monthly gatherings will kick off after the 10:00 am service on Sunday, October 22 and will consist of a topic presentation and thoughtful discussion that will help guide us along our journey. Interested in joining? Contact Betsy Walsh or Rev. Janelle.
As part of our launch of Journey to Justice, on October 22, we will welcome the Rev. Edwin Johnson as our preacher. Edwin serves as the Director of Organizing at Episcopal City Mission, an organization that builds relationships and collective power across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for racial and economic justice as the expression of God’s transforming love.
