The General Board of Church and Society and the General Commission on Religion and Race are participating in an ecumenical and interfaith worship service and march calling for the humane treatment of immigrants. Faithful Resistance: A Public Witness for Immigrant Justice is happening in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, February 25. The day will begin at 10AM ET with worship, followed by a prayerful march to the U.S. Capitol and afternoon congressional visits. United Methodists are encouraged to attend in-person, follow the event on social media or hold simultaneous events in your own local area. This is an opportunity to show solidarity for immigrants and call upon Christians everywhere to live out Christ’s call on all of us to “welcome the stranger”. Rev. Gabe Lopez, Director of Social Impact and Belonging, has organized a bus to DC that will leave from the EPA Conference Office at 5:45am and return by 6pm. If you want to attend, please first register for the event itself. And then sign up for your seat on the bus here. Whether you ride on the bus, find another means of transporation, or choose to witness closer to home, We hope that you can join us for this for this act of faithful witness!
