Our Purpose:
Our Diversity and Social Justice Team is committed to helping people go deeper into the issues of mission, mercy, and justice by addressing systemic causes of injustice and issues related to living our Christian faith in our culture and society. The Team has committed to focus in five areas: Environment/God’s Creation, Immigration, Interfaith work, LGBTQ+ Concerns/Welcome, and Mental Health. They also partner with other groups within and outside the church to impact issues like gun violence or anti-racism. To learn more about our work or get involved, contact Team Leaders Jean Streeter or Jill Griffin.
Pill Bottle Collection Drive Is Back!
As part of its Caring for God's creation efforts, the Social Justice/Diversity Team's pill bottle recycling project is back through April 30! Bring your clean, empty pill containers to put in the special pill bottle container at Buffalo Grove and Deerfield. The bottles will by sent to Matthew 25: Minisitries. Their pill bottle program fulfills the dual needs of improving medical care in developing countries and caring for our environment.
