Taking action to bring peace and justice in our world is one of the ways we give of ourselves. Our JRUUC Justice Leadership Team has been working to create areas of focus and opportunities to engage, and we’re ready to share these with our congregation! And you’ll have a chance to talk with members of the different focus teams after the service.
