International Women’s Day Service: Hope Is Not a Lottery Ticket
Eileen Campbell, International Justice Mission
“The one thing we need more than hope is action. Once we start to act, hope is everywhere.”
– Greta Thunberg
The second Sunday in March is our traditional lay-led International Women’s Day service. This year we are happy to welcome guest speaker, Eileen Campbell, Global Vice President of Advocacy and Survivor Leadership at International Justice Mission, our March Share the Plate recipient. Around the world, children, women, and men living in poverty are being exploited by traffickers and violent abusers who use power and violence to take advantage of their vulnerability. IJM partners with local authorities and community leaders to protect people in poverty from violence, strengthen justice systems, and support survivors as they rebuild their lives with dignity and strength. Join us to hear about survivors who are courageously leading change and organizing to keep their communities safe, and learn about how our congregation can be part of a global movement to end violence and exploitation. The choir will also be singing and there will be a special performance by Liz Connors (clarinet) and Carol Epple (flute.)
A recording of the service is available at the link below.
