• Micah 6:8 states that the Lord gives us three requirements, “to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God  … in faithfulness.” 
• Here at Christ the King, we love mercy through many of our social outreach ministries as we help individuals struggling with immediate needs they can’t afford or don’t have access to. 
• We practice faithfulness by worshiping together at mass, through retreats and in many other ways throughout the year. 
• That’s two out of three requirements that God asks of all of us.  But what about doing justice?
• If we are honest, we don’t do justice very well here at Christ the King.  BUILD is the only ministry we have that seeks to hold community systems and leaders accountable to solve problems that affect thousands of people across our community.
• BUILD was formed in 2003 to bring congregations together so that they would have enough power to do justice in the community of Lexington. Our vision is 52/1.
• 52 times a year we gather together each weekend to worship, as we should! 
• Can we not come together just one time each year at the Nehemiah Action event to work for justice in our community?
• BUILD'S approach to advocating for tangible, practical, and affordable solutions to serious problems our city faces works!  
• But it only works IF and WHEN we turn people out in numbers to participate in the Nehemiah Action which will take place on Tuesday April 30^th – 6:30 PM at Central Bank Center.
• Give BUILD this one night this year to help us fulfill the third requirement God has given us - to do justice.
• Your participation will make a difference.  You will be moved when you see 1500 or more people come together to advocate for changes that will make our community a safer, more just place to live and raise our families.
• Down below you can read a summary of the three issues we are working on this year in eldercare, housing, and microtransit.
• Register your commitment to participate in this great work of justice that God demands of us. 
• Print off your admission ticket which will speed up your entry into the event.
• We don’t hesitate to come together for worship 52 times per year as we should. 
• Give BUILD this one night, that will allow us to fulfill God’s call for us to do justice in this city of ours.

Here is a brief summary of this year's three focus areas of advocacy.   The issues will continue to become clearer as we approach the Nehemiah Action itself.  These summaries are just a snapshot of the work as of early April.  You will have more detailed materials at the Nehemiah Action that will give you much more clarity on the proposals that are being made.
