The Puerto Rican Experience 
This Sunday, Nov 16, 12:15-1:30 
 
Join the Young Adult Gathering at Fourth Presbyterian Church to learn about the history of colonization in Puerto Rico and key events that have shaped its political landscape. As we begin to understand the Puerto Rican struggle for liberation, we will discuss the role and response of the church in this political milieu.
 
If you missed Noe and Merari at Wicker Park Grace a couple of months ago, come out to Fourth Pres on Sunday to learn a lot! Or just come to support Noe and to join the conversation.

Prayer Request in a time of tragedy
 
Wicker Park Grace was recently blessed by the generous presence of Bruce Reyes-Chow with our community at the October retreat.
 
Bruce's family has experienced a tragedy in the violent death of his brother-in-law (his wife's brother) in a workplace shooting in California.
 
He has written about it here, on his moderator's blog.
 
Please keep Bruce and his wife, Robin, and their whole family in prayer.
 
An experience like this is so very shocking and upsetting. Words of support and prayers are welcome at the blog site linked above.
 
May the God of grace and compassion enfold the families affected and all of us as we deal with the grief that this experience brings up.

Grace Happens.
 
And some days we realize just how much we need it...
