Wicker Park Grace - an exploration of grace-based faith
This week
May 3, 2008
 
Our theme in May is "World Community" in recognition of Pentecost--the miracle of people understanding each other despite speaking different languages.

May events are posted on the website: www.wickerparkgrace.net

Summer hours begin in June, after Memorial Day.
In May, we continue to gather at 5:00pm on Sundays.

Spiritual Practice :: World Awareness  (The Philippines)

5:00 Discussion and Spiritual Practice
6:00 Potluck Dinner
(Entre, salad, bread provided--brings sides, salads, dessert to share)


The Philippine Solidarity Project (PSP) of Chicago Presbytery stands with Filipinos in their quest for long-lasting peace through justice. PSP's mission is to build awareness of and bring an end to the violations of human rights in the Philippines.

On February 19-27 PSP led a delegation to the Philippines to meet victims and their family members and discuss ways in which folks in the US can be in solidarity with them.

Shelley and Matt will talk with us about the delegation (they were there!) and the work that is being done in the U.S., and ways in which you can be involved (including going on the next delegation).

They will also lead us in spiritual practice along the lines of what they experienced in the Philippines when they were there.
