The vision for the New York Faith & Justice fellowship gatherings is to provide a space for those dedicated to their faith and social justice to come together in a supportive environment by creating a community where "the joy of the Lord" is our strength. We will eat, fellowship and pray for justice together. Ecclesiastes 4:12 states that: "a three strand cord is not easily broken" which shows us as people of faith we can do more for the kingdom as a community than alone.

At the launch of Harlem House we prayed, worshiped, ate together, and heard an awesome testimony from Evangelist Charlotte Keys of Jesus People Against Pollution. This week we will focus on Pentecost.  Come and see where the Spirit will led us during this meeting!

To RSVP contact Onleilove Alston at oa2145@columbia.edu or Peter Heltzel at peterheltzel@gmail.com.

You can help set directions for change by joining this online dialog for JUST TWO HOURS, even if you cannot attend EV|08 June 8-10.  Christians from anywhere in the world can log in and help determine the issues we must push for in the next ten years through a new online technology called Synanim (http://www.synanim.com). It is as easy to use as sending and receiving emails.
