Stories of Justice
We Hold You in Our Hearts
The ministers, staff, and greater ERUUF congregation would like to offer words of encouragement and hope to the family of Michael Brown, Jr. ("Big Mike") in light of the grand jury decision announced on Nov 24 in Missouri.

But we know that all of us want our justice ministry to be the best it can be, so that together we can make a maximum impact in the world.
