Addendum: For more about this class, see NV: Beyond These Walls...

Addendum: The goal of the class is to bring together a group of people in Central to engage the ministries that the Social Action Committee has already made available to the congregation. Through hands-on activities, we wish to demonstrate the importance of relationships in fulfilling the justice God calls us to uphold as part of our holistic faith. We hope to create a spirit of community in the class that will not only encourage the participants to share and listen to each other but will also enable them to take action to live as active members of a church without walls.
