Exploring Our Faith/Confirmation Trip
On the first Sunday in January, our youth will hold a bake sale during worship at Starbucks in Waban to raise money for service projects in Nicaragua. We're grateful for donations of baked goods, and will share more information soon! Also on that day, our Exploring Our Faith/Confirmation group will be traveling following worship to the Islamic Center of Wayland. All EOF/Confirmation youth and their mentors are invited to join us for this meaningful visit. For more about either of these opportunities, please contact Amy (amy@ucw.org).

th
ANNIVERSARY OF THE POOR PEOPLE'S MARCH
Date
:
Saturday, January 13, 2018
Time
:
9:30am - 3:00pm
Location
:
United Parish in Brookline
210 Harvard Street
Brookline, MA 02446
In his last Sunday Sermon, The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated:
"We are coming to Washington in a poor peop
le's campaign. Yes, we are going to bring the tired, the poor, the huddled masses...We are coming to demand that the government address itself to the problem of poverty...We are coming to ask America to be true to the huge promissory note that is signed years ago. And we are coming to engage in dramatic nonviolent action, to call attention to the gulf between promise and fulfillment; to make the invisible visible."
Fifty years ago, Dr. King announced the Poor People's Campaign. Although launched in 1968, this movement continues to be relevant today. Join City Mission for our annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Learning, where we will continue this important work. The US Census reflects the huge disparities in Boston, where the poverty rate for white residents is just under 7%, and for Black residents is 21.5%.
The event will include guest speakers and facilitated small group discussion to help us learn from, and build community, with each other.
