SMALL GROUPS
Voices of Micah — “He has told you, O mortal, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8
Voices of Micah is a welcoming, compassionate small group that acts intentionally to dismantle racism and initiate justice reform. In solidarity, we unite with all God’s children through educational opportunities, outreach, service, dialogue with and participation in the diverse cultures of our neighborhood. Empowered by the Holy Spirit we seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly, as we encourage and accept diversity in our work and relationships. If you have a passion for this ministry, please contact Donna Latessa or Jenny Annandono though the church office.
