St. Joseph community gathers in reflection, solidarity with Minneapolis
ST. JOSEPH, Mich. (WSBT) — A community gathering Wednesday night in St. Joseph focused on solidarity with Minneapolis.
Interfaith Action of Southwest Michigan, along with several local partners, hosted an evening of prayer, action and reflection after a nationwide call for clergy and faith leaders to respond.
Reverends shared a message about communities at the event.
Rev. Jeffrey Hubers said, “So even though it might seem like Minneapolis is far away, or those events are isolated, these things are happening here. We do have migrant neighbors, we do have a migrant local population, and so we want to show up for them just as we’re showing up for our neighbors in Minneapolis.”
Interfaith leaders hope events like this inspire more local engagement for justice and community well-being.
