Called to work

for Social Justice

With faith, guidance, and inspiration in Jesus Christ, the Acton Congregational Church Social Justice Task Force seeks opportunities to learn, listen, and take action on a variety of social justice issues. Providing leadership and support, ACC explores social justice from individual and community-based perspectives where we invite all to pursue justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God. (Micah 6:8) 

Pursuing Justice Sundays

The second Sunday of each month is designated “Pursuing Justice Sunday.” Pursuing Justice Sunday is a time to educate ourselves/our congregation, listen to others’ experiences and perspectives, and discern how to take action on social justice issues in our local community and beyond. 

Education

  • How to become an ally to those who experience injustice? 
  • Develop skill to call people out when social injustice is observed 
  • Awareness of stereotypes and implicit bias 
  • The interconnectedness of social justice issues 
  • How do we integrate education and action? 

Action

  • Focus on local issues and injustices. Take action locally. 
  • How can we give back out of our privilege? How can we give access to the good all people deserve? 
  • Work with groups within ACC 
  • Work with other congregations/temples locally

Prayer

  • How do we integrate prayer and social justice? 
  • How is it God is calling us to be? 
  • Listening. To God’s call. To others, especially those with ideas, views, experiences different from our own.
