On the last Sunday Evenings of January, February, and March 2012, the Christian Education Committee of Ogden Memorial Presbyterian Church, 286 Main Street, Chatham, NJ, will sponsor three programs on issues calling for social justice; Homelessness, Hunger, and Immigration. These programs will focus on an area of concern in our country and will seek to help us understand how we can address the concern nationally as well as locally.
