JustFaith is an educational experience, a formation process, and a spiritual journey. Over thirty weeks, participants gather weekly for prayer, discussion of books and videos, presentations by guest speakers, retreats, and immersion experiences. JustFaith offers an opportunity for people of all Christian faith traditions to experience this spiritual journey into compassionate discipleship. The program, now offered in hundreds of churches across the country, provides a lively and challenging format to engage and be formed by the Christian tradition that changes lives, inspires compassionate witness, and transforms the world through modeling the love and justice of God in Jesus Christ. For many, the program has led to work that is very rewarding, given them a nurturing and supportive community of friends, and allowed people's faith to become relevant, meaningful, and significant in everyday life. Come for an Introduction to JustFAITH on Wednesday, January 4, 7 p.m. at Ignatius House, 6700 Riverside Dr NW, Atlanta, GA 30328. For more information contact PJ Edwards at JustFaith@TravlersTogether.org or 770.312.7718 or visit www.JustFaith.org
Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners.
