Justice Sunday With Soup & Salad in Lower Meetinghouse.
Join us Sunday, September 29th following service. Please sign up to bring a soup and/or volunteer to help serve here!
Each year the American Library Association host an Annual Week of Action focus on Banned Books. This year’s action runs from Sept 22-28.
In the US, the American Library Association documented 1,247 challenges against libraries, schools, and universities in 2023 addressing 4,240 unique titles. Further, in 2022 they documented 34 cases in which threats and harassment to library staff occurred and 25 cases in which police reports were filed against librarians over book on the shelves.
Each month throughout the church year (except May), we will host a program focused on the justice work that takes place within and beyond our congregation. Programs take place after Sunday worship and start with a community soup & salad lunch, followed by a justice program.
