Justice Walking

"BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD"- Mahatma Gandhi

Justice Walking is a unique discipleship process that brings young adults into a small, committed community. Over the course of one semester, J Walkers dialogue, reflect, and apply to their lives what has been learned along the J-Walking journey.

The J-Walking journey includes the following components:

• Seven sessions



• Every other session at a local social service agency



• Opening and closing retreats



• Group relection on a few selected texts



• Justice pilgrimage



• Focus on relationships



• Spiritual practices that apply gospel teachings to life choices

If you are interested and want to be the change you want to see in the world. Join us for intro sessions:

Thurs., November 3rd, 12:30-1:20PM, in the Cushing Library (bring your lunches!)
and
Wed., November 9th, 8:00pm, in the McLean Chapel (with the ALIVE Club)

"J Walking goes far beyond seven sessions. It is a way of life. It changes the way you live your life!" -Allison Ferry, J-Walker

Yom Kippur

Jewish Day of Atonement. The holiest of the Jewish year and is observed with strict fasting and repentance. During the time of the temple ritual, the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies to offer atonement for the people. www.chabad.org/holidays/JewishNewYear/default_cdo/jewish/High-Holidays.htm

Vigil for Immigrant Rights

Join the ALIVE Club and Campus Ministry on:

Wednesday, October 19th from 5pm-6pm at West Contra Costa County Detention Center!

Richmond High School (with members of HNU's Alive Club) have planned an interfaith vigil to speak up for immigrant rights.


The Contra Costa County Dentention Center operates an annex to the county jail in North Richmond. Through some arrangement between the county and the Feds, Ice detains undocumented immigrants there until they are deported or sent on to some federal detention center. An organization called the Interfaith Human Rights Project (IHRP) conducts a vigil at the West County lockup on the third Wednesday of each month, from 5pm-6pm. Rather than personally conduct these vigils , the IHRP invites local groups to sponsor each event. There is no set format for the vigil--the only requirement is that they be peaceful. The purpose of the vigils is to show solidarity with our brothers and sisters whose only crime is to be in this country without documentation and to protest our immigration policy.

Please contact campusministry@hnu.edu by this Sunday if you would like to attend (we will leave campus on 10/19 at 4PM and return at 6PM).

Join ALIVE tomorrow night (Wed., 10/12, 8PM, McLean Chapel) to learn some of the songs for the vigil.
