March for Our Lives

March 24 @ 9 am - 4pm

  • Participate with other Do Justice Retreat (DJR) churches in the St. Paul contingency of the national March for Our Lives to end gun violence. Students will be shuttled from Christ Lutheran Church on Capitol Hill to the beginning of the march. After the march, youth from the congregations will join together for lunch and a time of discussion and reflection.
  • If a parent has filled out an ECLC permission slip or online registration form in the last year, all you need to do to participate is add your name to the online sign-up sheet.
