Michigan Water Crisis: A Town Hall Meeting

Jesus calls us to give drink to the thirsty. Water is life; water is a necessity; water is sacred. All too often our sacred right to clean, safe water is denied as we tragically see happen to our neighbors in Flint and Detroit.

On Thursday, May 26th from 7:00 pm-8:30 pm in Donnelly Hall, we will gather as a community to listen to the stories of those intimately affected by the water crises in Michigan. Featured speakers will include Father Tom Firestone, pastor of St. John Vianney Catholic Church and Sister Carol Weber, founder of St. Luke N.E.W. Life Center. Both are dedicated advocates for the people of Flint. Participants of our Flint ASB trip will also share their experiences and there will be opportunity for questions and conversation.

We will be collecting hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes at this event to donate to the community in Flint.

Come and be inspired to give drink to the thirsty and to advocate for justice. All are welcome.
