Events and Opportunities
Opportunities to Get Involved
All members, visitors and friends of MVUC are welcome and encouraged to participate in any of the social justice opportunities listed below. Our programs and activities are diverse, and open to all. Some activities can only be announced on a short notice, such as rallies and letter-writing/phone-making campaigns; hence, keep an eye on this webpage, or on the
Facebook page of the church to find out promptly what is going on and where your/our action is needed.
Team leaders always welcome new visitors in their social justice activities. Your fresh ideas make us who we are. Contact information is listed on each respective page [for instance, if you need to contact team leader for Green Sanctuary, go to Social Justice/Green Sanctuary page].
