Hello, all. As we proceed with the season of Lent, I thought it might be nice to reflect on Christian responses to inequality, and the power and responsibility of being part of a community of faith. The following are links to information from the UMC General Board of Church and Society. You might want to take a look at sections on the living wage, worker rights, etc.

And the work of the General Board of Global Ministries: http://new.gbgm-umc.org/work/hunger/

Also, the inspirational social justice work that one congregation in San Francisco is doing (Glide Memorial): http://www.glide.org/Work.aspx

I look forward to being back in church with you all again on Easter. Best - Amy
