Previous Vine citywide programs have included retreats to the Catskills, day hikes, rafting trips, volunteering at soup kitchens, coffee shop conversations on current events and faith, a border immersion trip to El Paso, TX, an advocacy trip to Washington, D.C., and more!
Coming up in 2022-2023:
A New Heaven & New Earth: World Student Christian Federation Conference
September 14-18, 2022
Princeton University
We will be bringing a group to this national conference for progressive Christian students. Join us as we gather together across campuses, denominations and national boundaries for a time of worship, prayer, Bible study, social analysis, conversation, and strategic planning to reckon with the moral injustices of our time, including poverty, white supremacy, empire, and ecological devastation; to build community for the journey together toward healing; and to reimagine a new world, a new heaven and earth, and explore our role in bringing about that vision. Email Becca at pastor@thevinenyc.org to RSVP by 9/1/22.
