Just Engagement
August 11 to September 29, 2020
6:30 to 8:30 P.M
JustFaith Group of Holy Family
The start date of this program has been pushed back from August 4 to August 11 due to the extent of the power outage in the area as a result of Tropical Storm Isaias.
Holy Family's Just Faith Ministry will be embarking on an 8-week study program called Just Engagement. Our group’s goal will be to study institutional racism and come up with a plan to make a meaningful difference in its structure and impact.
We will start Tuesday, August 11, and meet each week for the next 8 weeks using Zoom from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
The cost will be approximately $50 per person which includes the two books for the curriculum. For further information please contact Charley Herbert at 860-614-1466 or cherbert@bfsinvest.com
Just Faith Ministries was birthed in the effort to invite and prepare people of faith for the life-changing and world-changing call of the Gospel to help heal the world and, in so doing, experience a deeper faith, a more fulfilling life, and a community of care and vitality.” – Jack Jezreel, Founder
Formed in January 2015, the JustFaith group at Holy Family started with 15 individuals on a 27-week journey of study and discussion based on the JustFaith Ministries nationwide program, which is designed to gain an understanding of the root causes of many of our broken social systems in the US and abroad. Topics included poverty, racism, immigration and refugees, homelessness and more.
Since completing the program, the group has opened its arms to the broader faith community at Holy Family and volunteers in areas of poverty, racism, immigration, women’s mental health and prison reform. In addition to a variety of volunteer opportunities, the JustFaith group also hosts a variety of events throughout the year to raise public awareness about these issues.
We continue to welcome members of the Holy Family Faith Community to become involved in our Just Faith efforts in any manner they feel called. Please contact Charley Herbert or Karen Herbert for more information.
