The Justice Ministry would like to lift up and encourage FHC to consider this Lenten practice from Faithful America:
Today is the first day of Lent, a season of sacrifice when many Christians set aside things that we enjoy — like chocolate, meat, or alcohol — to return our attention to the ways of Jesus. But with the safety and financial security of our neighbors and communities under attack, this Lent just feels…different. So what if we choose to observe Lent differently in response?
What if we choose a Lenten fast that directly targets injustice, instead of just things that bring us joy as individuals? What if we fast from financially supporting the billionaires and corporations — and do it together, as a community of social-justice Christians?
Please sign the pledge and join this Lenten fast for love and justice.
