On this episode of Fill the JAR, we talk with Rev. Ryan Downing of Faith UCC in Iowa City, and Chuck Hauck, a member there and leader on the Faith UCC Faith Works committee. We discuss ways for churches to embody solidarity with workers that are both accessible AND powerful for community and congregation alike. Enjoy!
