Making Positive Choices — Working for Change
Grace Church has created a Justice Action Task Force that has been meeting periodically at the church to come up with ACTION STEPS — things we can do to take action about what is currently happening in the world around us. And we encourage one another to actually do them. Things like writing an email, going to an Indivisible meeting, helping a B2R family move furniture or travel to work, learning more about our AlderBoard form of government in Rutland City, attending a rally, making positive choices, connecting with people who are working for change, volunteering at Rutland Neighbors — things that start small, but have a way of leading to life-change and world-change.
