Plymouth’s Companion Ministry exemplifies social justice in action. Companions learn to develop compassionate awareness for those struggling with mental illness, insecure housing or chemical dependency. Companions develop skills to listen with openness, understand an awareness of limits and boundaries and how to ease isolation. Being a Companion also stretches us beyond our comfort zone, and it is truly ‘walking the talk.’
We stand at a crossroads, a place where both dire need and great opportunity exists. Become a Companion. Live out your faith and put social justice in action. Contact me to talk about what it means to be a part of this vital ministry of Plymouth: JHayakawaFung@PlymouthChurchSeattle.org,
