The Faithful Resistance: A Public Witness for Immigrant Justice is happening in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, Feb. 25. Our Bishop, Sue Haupert-Johnson, and the Virginia UMC Conference Cabinet invite you to join us for an upcoming ecumenical gathering and peaceful march calling for the humane treatment of immigrants.

The event opens at 10 a.m. with worship at Capitol Hill UMC (421 Seward Square SE, Washington, DC, 20003). A prayerful march to the U.S. Capitol will follow, accompanied by congressional visits in the afternoon.

This is a powerful opportunity to show solidarity for immigrants and call upon Christians everywhere to live out Christ’s call on all of us to resist evil, oppression and injustice in whatever forms they present. Learn more about the event and register at faithful-resistance.squarespace.com/ .
