Locations

We are planning on five locations in Washington, DC, with special significance.

Sunday, June 12: Lincoln Memorial                     

This will be our kickoff Sunday.  We’ll recall Abraham Lincoln’s concern for liberation and justice--and our call to continue that tradition today in relation to our neighbors in Africa.

Sunday, June 26: Freedom  Plaza--Press Club

We’ll call on the media to be morally accountable for what they report … and what they ignore.  We’ll urge them to keep Darfur on the minds of Americans, and not to let Sudan be another Rwanda.

What to Bring

Worship in the Spirit of Justice will be an outdoor event, rain or shine. We strongly encourage you to review the list below.

IF IT'S SUNNY...bring sunscreen, hats, bottled water, etc.--plus some to share.

IF IT'S RAINY...bring a couple extra umbrellas to share.

WHATEVER THE WEATHER...please use this checklist:

• a couple lawn chairs or blankets (maybe some to share?)
• dress is cool and casual--come as you are
• green armbands to show support for the people of Darfur
• the weekly bulletin--we'll post it on this site each week--so you can download it , print it, and bring it--plus a few extra copies to share. It will contain the plan for the service, Scripture readings, song lyrics, prayers, plus directions to the location
• some friends and neighbors! Spread the word!
• remember--kids are an important part of this experience; it could be an important part of their spiritual education. We're counting on parents to help their kids be productively involved.

As You Prepare and Travel to the Event...Pray that God will use these five weeks to bring real and lasting help to our neighbors who are suffering in Africa. And pray that we, here in America, will be challenged and changed as well.
