Greetings!
Advent is the season of waiting and watching. It is the time when the church waits... and watches for the light to pierce the darkness. With a grand pause we take a collective breath and look inward... "How have I loved this year?" "Who have I loved this year?" "What have I loved this year?" "What is it that I wait for?" "What is it that my soul yearns for?"
Is it a job?
Is it a home?
Is it food for my soul?... is it food for my children?
Is it health?
Is it family?
Is it love?
Advent presses us to connect with the deepest yearnings of the soul, then proclaims Jesus is coming!
Come wait with us. Come watch with us. Come yearn with us... for that other world, which is possible. Come expect grand and beautiful acts of God with New York Faith & Justice this month.

International Human Rights Day...
COME HEAR FLORIDA
TOMATO PICKERS
SPEAK OUT
Coalition of Immokalee Workers Speak Out
Wednesday,
December 10, 7:30 P.M.
The Church of the
Holy Trinity
316 E.
88th Street, between First
& Second Avenues
THEY will
speak about
working conditions in the fields and their campaigns to get fast food chains
to agree to pay them just one cent more per pound (nearly doubling their
wages).
The tomato pickers currently receive
from growers who supply Subway about 40 cents for a 32-lb. bucket, a mere
1.3 cents per pound. They must pick 120 buckets, or nearly 2
tons of tomatoes per day, to earn $50 in a 10-hour
day.
At a RECEPTION, you can talk to the workers
&
learn from the co-sponsoring food
justice groups.
C.I.W. is
welcomed to New York City by
Faith Leaders for Food
Justice
New York Faith and
Justice
The New York City Coalition Against
Hunger
Congregation B'nai
Jeshurun
Hazon
Local 1500, The United Food and
Commercial Workers International Union
The Peace and Restorative Justice
Community of The Church of the Holy Trinity
To learn more about the Coalition of
Immokalee Workers campaign for economic justice, visit their website: http://www.ciw-online.org.
Preceding the
event, at 6:30 P.M., the Church of the Holy Trinity will celebrate a
Candlelight Eucharist that will include a reading of the
United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Who can endure
the day of his coming?
I will be swift
to bear witness against those
who oppress the
hired workers in their wages.
~ Malachi
