Human Trafficking Class Meets Tonight: The Presbyterian Church has joined the U. S. and the U. N. in affirming that modern-day slavery is a violation of human rights. Congregations have been urged by PC(USA) General Assemblies to become informed about human trafficking, to advocate for the elimination of human trafficking, and to witness to the fullness of life that God desires for all people. Using the curriculum The Thoughtful Christian-Faithful Living in a Complex World, there will be four sessions examining the scope and complexity of human trafficking. The first session will be tonight, 5:30 – 6:30 pm.
