THE 6:8 PROJECT – THORNTON

BACK TO THE 6:8 PROJECT

“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” – Micah 6:8

The 6:8 Project is a weekend that we set aside every year to focus on ways we can practice justice and mercy.

Since The 6:8 Project began in 2017, Calvary has packed hundreds of thousands of meals that were sent overseas, we’ve raised funds and awareness about the need for clean drinking water in many parts of the world, and we have helped refugee families as they settle in Colorado. We’ve participated in many other projects that have helped us understand God’s heart for those in need of justice and mercy.

    The Prophet Micah tells us what good actions God desires; to DO justice, LOVE mercy and WALK humbly with Him. Why does this please Him? Because it reflects His character. Putting Micah 6:8 into action helps us discover God’s heart and our place in His good purposes.
