Micah 6:8 Event:
Practicing Presence: What Does
It Look Like To Do Justice?
Wednesday, February 5 at 6:30 p.m. in Stewart Hall
(immediately following The Table)
Join us to hear Pastor Jonathan Brooks talk about what justice looks like in practice. God’s call in Micah 6:8 is to “love mercy, do justice and walk humbly with God.” What does that “do justice” piece look like, practically speaking and in action?
Jonathan Brooks is the Lead Pastor of Lawndale Community Church in the Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago. Pastah J, as he is affectionately called, is a sought-after speaker, writer and artist. He is the author of the book Church Forsaken: Practicing Presence in Neglected Neighborhoods, published by InterVarsity Press. During his tenure at Canaan (where he previously pastored), the church released a gospel album titled Recommend Jesus to be used as an avenue to share faith as an integral component in community transformation. Lastly, Pastah J has also recorded four hip-hop albums with the group Out-World and a mixtape to accompany the book Church Forsaken.
All are welcome! This event is sponsored by the Micah 6:8 group of First Pres.
