Church
and Society Committee
| St.
Mark's Committees |
The
mission of the Church and Society Committee is to stay in contact
with district, conference, and general church groups working
on social issues and bring to our congregation needs for study
and/or action projects (Book of Discipline, paragraph
253). This is accomplished by
-
Keeping
ourselves, our pastors, and our church council aware of
study and action needs and opportunities in our community,
state, nation, and the world.
-
Sponsoring
social education such as classes on the Social Principles
(United Methodist policy regarding social issues) and related
issues.
-
Engaging
in social service such as sponsoring blood drives and providing
food to the poor and homeless.
-
Engaging
in social witness and taking social action.
-
Making
connections with the church at all levels and outside the
church with particular emphasis on issues within our own
community.
-
Advocating
for and responding to the peace and justice needs of all
people and all of creation.
