 Jericho Walks – Every Thursday

 
What:              Join the New Sanctuary every Thursday for our weekly Jericho Prayer walk around 26 Federal Plaza. Immigrants are facing overwhelming forces against their well-being, their freedom, their safety, their families and their dignity. As people of faith we understand that sometimes we need to give up the problem. The Jericho Walk is a silent prayer vigil where we walk around 26 Federal Plaza seven times in our white robes in silence.
 
Turn off your phones, stop texting, stop facebooking, stop tweetting and join us with only a prayer in your hand and meditate so everyone can live in dignity.
 
When:             Thursday mornings – 11am
 
Where:           26 Federal Plaza (entrance at Foley Square)

Whether you are documented or undocumented, it is important for you to be informed of current events and your rights. Residents should not live in fear, but need to be informed.
