Clergy and faith leaders, break bread with us as we explore the past, present, and future of Faith in Texas and the Clergy Table. At the meeting, you will have an opportunity to connect with other clergy who are leading their congregations in the work of justice, engage with the mission, vision, and direction of Faith in Texas, and share your needs as a clergy leader. You will also learn about upcoming campaigns and opportunities to take action, both as a clergy leader and with your congregation. We will conclude with an Iftar Dinner at 8:15 pm.
Faith in Texas envisions a Dallas that provides diverse, fair and safe housing for all people, regardless of income source, gender identity and sexuality, citizenship status, and criminal history. Every person should have a good, safe, affordable place to live–no matter what. As a beloved community, we have a responsibility to make it so if we want our families and neighbors to thrive. Join us on Saturday, December 14 at First Community Church as we discuss the history of housing in Dallas, the current moral crisis, and prepare for action to make Just Housing a reality! RSVP here.
On Monday, December 16, 2019, Faith in Texas will host a dinner and celebration honoring YOU, our most appreciated family of dedicated, hardworking volunteers, leaders, clergy, and donors! We will hear directly from leaders on their moving work, celebrate our collective accomplishments, look ahead to our key focuses and goals for 2020, and, most importantly, relax and fellowship together one last time in this decade! Thank you for your enduring commitment to justice and to our faithful movement. Kids are welcome and encouraged, we have fun activities planned with Seeds to Stem! We look forward to celebrating with all of you! Please RSVP, dinner will be served.
2020 will be a TERRIFIC year of action and milestones for the Faith in Texas Justice Team. We invite all Horizon members who are interested in housing, immigration, and voter engagement, to join us as we set our 2020 goals. These goals will intentionally center those in our Horizon community with the greatest needs. We will also collectively decide our action plan and events, which will include combining our efforts with other Horizon groups. Food will be provided. We hope to see you there! RSVP here DATE: Saturday, January 11, 2019 TIME: 12:30pm - 4:30pm LOCATION: Horizon Unitarian Universalist Church (Fellowship Hall)
Join us as we hear from those at the forefront of the fight for affordable housing and learn what steps we can take to move beyond quick fixes to instead address the root of the injustices causing these problems. Together we have the power to implement sustainable long-term change and better love our neighbors as our faith commands us to do.
