Vigil for Racial Justice
Tuesdays: 12 noon - 1:00 pm (weather permitting)
Westminster will hold a public Vigil for Racial Justice to be held Tuesdays, 12 noon – 1:00 pm on State Street in front of the church.
You are invited to join us and pray; hold signs; and witness the need for racial justice in our city, our country, and our world.
A large sign will read VIGIL FOR RACIAL JUSTICE. A leader will start each vigil with prayer. The remainder of the time, participants will stand with signs to pray for justice. Bring a sign along with wording of your choice if you are able. Basically a silent vigil, each person is asked to think carefully about “Why am I doing this,” so if asked by a passerby they can answer.
Read Westminster’s Statement of Solidarity and Call to Action here
