At-Risk Meeting

Every 3rd Sunday of the Month

3:00pm-5:00pm
Agape Room


We will be discussing, planning, and praying about our next Justice Matters Sunday, which will be on Feb. 1st. This will be our 15th year!  If you’d like to be a part of that planning team and/or volunteer to help, we’d love you to join us! Our Guest Speaker will be Former Ambassador John Cotton Richmond!

There are many injustices in the world today and here at Calvary Murrieta we desire to “speak up" for those who can’t speak for themselves and ensure justice for those being crushed. There are many avenues to do this, so we seek ways to help the victims, as well as find ways to help prevent them from becoming one. At Risk meetings is one of those avenues.
