Jesus is Lord! Post-Easter Pilgrimage and celebration
10:45 a.m. Gather at Rogers Park*
11 a.m. Start walk to Goshen College
Noon Arrive at Broken Shield on campus†
You are invited to a festive post-Easter celebration of our allegiance to the risen Christ and his way of shalom! Over 1,200 people from across the Mennonite Church and beyond have added their names to a letter of resistance, expressing disappointment with Goshen College’s decision to play the national anthem at several sporting events.
On Monday, April 5, we will walk to the college in vibrant colors, singing songs of praise as we go. Once we arrive, a small group will deliver the signatures as others share in prayer and song. We hope this worshipful action can add to the dialogue and welcome all who share this spirit. Please bring instruments to play (flutes, kazoos, buckets for drumming). You will be welcome to join us at point along the route which will proceed down Lincoln Avenue and then down 8th Street to Goshen College (we have a permit).
For details, or if you are coming from afar and need housing e-mail jesusradicals@jesusradicals.com and let us know.
*Rogers Park is on the corner of Chicago Ave. & Lincoln Ave in Goshen
†The sculpture is located in the quad area at the center of campus.
If you are interested in participating in any of these actions please sign up to receive updates about the pilgrimage so we can send you details as they become available. Thank you again for adding your name to the letter to Goshen College and for your continued support in engaging this issue.
