Sunday June 2, 9:15 in the Vaughan Wing.
By one count there were eleven CUCC members
who participated in “Moral Monday” this past week, supporting those who were engaging
in civil disobedience and facing arrest by entering the Legislative building to
protest the injustices of current legislative activity. Standing across the
street in support is something that families, including young people, may
consider. On future Mondays, some adults in the congregation may choose to take
the next step and risk arrest, but wonder if it is the right thing for them to
do. The next Moral Monday will be June 3 (the Legislature will not be in
session on Memorial Day). If you are considering
taking part and want to know more what it is all about, please come to a
meeting in the Vaughan Wing before church on June 2 (starting at 9:15, the
regular Forum time) to exchange ideas and information and plan ways we can
support each other in this effort. There is a possibility that people who have been arrested in past weeks
will be there to describe what they experienced. Meanwhile, if you might be willing to offer
overnight accommodations to Moral Monday activists coming from High Country
UCC in Boone for the Moral Monday June 3, please contact Jane Smith asap so she
can help make connections.
