Jubilee USA Monthly Calls
Dear Mount Tabor Lutheran Church,
This is Robert Ladao, the Development and Executive Associate for Jubilee this spring.
With the United States preparing to host the first G20 since 2009, Jubilee efforts are shaping key conversations on the global agenda. As we look ahead, we are mobilizing Jubilee faith communities and congregations to press world leaders to make stronger commitments on debt relief for global economic stability, job growth and poverty alleviation at home and abroad.
We conduct these preparations in our monthly congregation calls, the first Tuesday of every month at 1:00 p.m. ET. Our next speaker will be Rev. Dr. Nicolle D. Jean-Simon, speaking on redemption, salvation, and how the debt crisis affects real people. Click here to register for a Zoom link for our call next Tuesday: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/DlaSUEPRRXGsU1TZd7Rx9Q
These sermons will continue monthly as part of our lead-up to December’s G20 and our Jubilee pilgrimage to Miami. Together, we can ready our hearts, deepen our relationships, and discern how we are called to faithful public witness on debt relief.
Gratefully,
Robert Ladao
