Justice!

St Mark's UMC is a proud member of  the Good Faith Network,

a network of 27 faith communities which works for justice

in Johnson County.  


Micah 6:8 is a mandate for all who claim to follow God. 

Churches are traditionally good at "walking humbly" and provide many opportunities for worship and Bible study. 


Most churches do well at "loving mercy" and include many opportunities to be supportive and merciful through things like food pantries and clothing drives.


However, most churches do not do so well at "acting justly" - that is, seeking ways

to change unjust systems, or speaking to people in power about the needs

of those who are marginalized and abandoned by our culture.   


The Good Faith Network gives us the opportunity to join our voices

with many other congregations so that we can be an effective voice for change

in numbers too large to ignore!
