Social Justice: Past, Present, and Future

Dear Church Family,

Just as Christ calls us, this community consistently supports "the least of these," and this Spring has been an amazing example of that.

Our April Social Justice project collected for and assembled 35 Birthday Bags for the Round Rock Area Serving Center. This was no small task, so thank you for the generosity of time and donations to make this possible.

This month, we are writing postcards to legislators in our state. The legislative session is drawing to a close at the end of May, and there are many issues that need to be addressed. Our legislators and governor need to know where people of faith stand. There is a table up in the fellowship hall with suggestions about bills you might specifically want to speak to, as suggested by Texas Impact, Equality Texas, and the League of Women Voters. Postcards, pens, and a writing prompt are all provided so you can easily write messages if you wish. We will address them, add stamps, then mail them to make it as easy as possible for you. Please use your voice.
Next month, we will be hosting a booth at the Pflugerville Pride Pfestival. On Saturday, June 10th, we need volunteers to join us at Pflugerville Pride from 3-8pm and help us with our Chapel of Love! Our hope is that we provide a space that lets all in the Pride Community know that we want to affirm and love them for exactly who they are. We believe that Love is Love and ALL are welcome at the table. So come help us offer blessings over all who choose to visit our booth!

Thank you, as always, for being the hands and feet of Christ as we work together to build the kin-dom of God.

~ The Social Justice Team
