What have you seen, heard, experienced or noticed in our community?
This Sunday, September 20, from Noon–1:30 PM, First Lutheran will host a Justice in Action listening session for members, friends and family of all ages. Lunch will be provided.
Statistics can tell us a problem exists, but stories, observations and shared concerns help us understand what those issues look like in everyday life. What you have experienced yourself—or what you have seen, heard, read or learned from others—can help bring community concerns into clearer focus.
As people share what they know and what concerns them, common themes begin to emerge, giving us a fuller and more authentic picture of the needs and priorities in our community.
This year, Justice in Action is especially listening for stories and observations related to the new Community Mental Health Navigation Service opening in 2027 and the ongoing need for better food coordination in our community. After listening sessions are held across participating faith communities, Justice in Action staff review what they’ve heard, identify common themes and bring those findings back to the larger network. From there, the group looks for opportunities to act and advocate for meaningful change.
Your voice is one piece of a much bigger picture. Together, what we share can help reveal where change is needed and what we may be able to accomplish together.
Join us Sunday, September 20, from Noon–1:30 PM at First Lutheran. Lunch is provided and everyone is welcome.
