Faith Communities Coming Together

This will be an exciting and inspiring evening hosted by UUCGV, First Congregational Church, and Western Colorado Congress February 16, 2016 at First Congregational Church (at 1425 N. 5th St, across from Grand Junction High School).
     The evening will begin at 5:30 with dinner and the program will go from 6-8:30.  We will be looking at the spiritual/philosophical aspects of faith communities coming together with some practical guidelines of how to implement and make it happen.  
Organizing: What the $@%* is Organizing?
1. Convening - who's in the room and why are we here (30 minutes)? What's calling us here? Do we feel like something is missing in our mission work?
2. Extended Reflection - The world we live in and the world we want to live in (40 minutes). Community organizing is the bridge between these worlds.
3. Approaches to Fight Injustice (60 minutes). Understanding distinctions in service/advocacy/organizing approaches and how can these work together?
4. Where Do We Go From Here? (10 minutes) Next steps.
5. Eval (10 minutes) Just how awesome was tonight? Thinking/feeling/doing. This evening is open to anybody who has a passion for bringing our faith communities together in an organized and justice centered way.
