Uniting Student Activists with John Pavlovitz

Parkway United Church of Christ is a joyful, compassionate, and inclusive community located at 2841 New Ballas Road, St. Louis 63131, just south of the intersection of Highways 270 and 40, and just north of the intersection of Ballas and Clayton Roads. Please visit our website atwww.parkwayucc.orgor email info@parkwayucc.org.The United Church of Christ and Parkway UCC celebrate an extravagant welcome for all, "no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey. This is why we insist that God's communion table is open to all, not closed to any, and God's gift and claim in baptism are irrevocable," according toUCC.org, the denomination's website. "We advocate justice for all.  Our congregations extend hospitality as a sign of God's inclusive love. We teach that evangelism — offering bread to those in search of it — is God's mission.  Our perspective is global, not provincial.  We work with — not against — people of other faiths. Because God is still speaking."

For college, high school and middle school students...
The efforts of student activists are finally being recognized on a national level. How do you engage activism that embraces your values? We will also talk about youth disillusionment, frustration, and hope regarding our country's social and political climate. The evening will include food, coffee, music, and opportunities to connect, heal, and plan.
