Just Peace Church
Colonial Justice and Witness shares a few ideas in The Crier on the first Wednesday of each month to inspire and encourage our community to engage in acts of justice and service. We believe that small actions can lead to significant change.
As it is written in Micah 6:8 (NIV): “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

Grandparents for Gun Safety
Grandparents for Gun Safety (GGS) was founded in 2013. Our grassroots group united in the wake of the lack of Congressional action following the Sandy Hook shooting that claimed 27 victims, 20 of which were children.
Since the very beginning, we have emphasized education, safety and the need for common ground gun reform. Our focus is focus is universal background checks, waiting periods for gun purchases, and other reforms to reduce the danger of gun violence.
The group’s monthly meeting is the fourth Monday of the month at 4:00 p.m. in our Social Hall.
