The Civic Engagement group meets regularly to bring timely justice actions to each Sunday worship service. We pick important issues for letters, postcards, petitions, and phone calls. In addition, we network with other justice and faith groups in Phoenix and beyond.

Make A Holiday Card, A Gift of Hope
Thousands of asylum seekers are held in three detention centers in Arizona. Immediately after service this Sunday, November 24, come to the patio to make holiday cards for people who are detained. All materials will be provided, as officials have rules about what can come into the detention centers. Your card will likely be the only gift from outside that the person receives this season, and will likely be displayed and shared among those inside.
