seeCome and See - Palestine

 

"Come and see!"  It was a phrase we heard from many people on our delegation to the Holy Land.  Come and see the sites that are sacred to Muslims, Christians, and Jews.

 

You too can come and see!  Come early on Sunday, August 19 (9:30 am before our 11 am liturgy) to hear stories, see slides, and continue a conversation about ways in which we might accompany these sisters and brothers in the months and years ahead.   

 

Pr Jeff will provide a light Palestinian breakfast!

Faith, Youth & Immigration Conference

social justice

Join us for  FYI:  Faith, Youth & Immigration Conference 2012!   


This is a one-day conference of high school through college age young people (ages 14-25) to connect their stories of migration and identity, and learn how spirituality can be an instrument for immigrant justice and social change. 
 
 

 

 

"Animate Faith" - coming soon!

Animated! Thought-provoking? Hilarious? All of the above!

 

We used the new "Animate" faith formation DVDs to test our new visual system and all had trouble going back to our desks this week!  As much as we laughed - almost throughout the entire video - we were also captivated. 

 

Stay tuned for the dates for our fall adult study classes. 

You don't want to miss them!
