The prophet Micah answered this question simply with, "To seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God." (Micah 6:8) What does it mean to see justice? How is this a part of our daily lives? Gather for conversation and inspiration during this March series at Prospect Park UMC to discover how God is encouraging you to seek justice in daily life, especially for our neighbors who are homeless.
