November 13, 2008
Maui Weekly
Faith Action for Community Equity (FACE), an interfaith organization for promoting justice and equity, will celebrate its founding and commit to an action covenant at Christ the King Church in Kahului on Saturday, Nov. 15, from 9 to 11 a.m. FACE is currently comprised of 19 churches and temples, three social service agencies, two labor organizations, and one environmental group; more are joining on a regular basis.
All of the groups have agreed to put their faith into action and work together on common issues impacting the future of Maui. Each group has been conducting one-on-one and small group meetings over the last three months aimed at identifying common concerns to work on cooperatively for the betterment of the community. At an assembly held in late September, approximately 100 participants identified three common concerns and task forces were formed to refine and address these issues. At the Covenant Celebration, final action issues will be formally announced and members in attendance will read the covenant in the presence of local community and government leaders.
All interested community members are invited. If childcare is requested, it will be provided. Call Shirley DePonte at 878-6277 for additional information.
