OUR REGULAR PROGRAM:
1. LIVING ROOM gatherings are every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 5:00-6:30 pm in Intersections located at 274 Fifth Ave (btw. 29th and 30th Street).
2. On the 3rd week of every month we SERVE TOGETHER in the area of fighting poverty, working for social or environmental justice, sustainability, and community service.
3. Every 1st week of every month we have a FAITH HOUSE TOUR BUS, as we step out of our comfort zones and into a hospitable space of others to visit, participate, and learn from their services, lectures, rituals, concerts, and other events.

Last week, we learned about
Marian traditions through the centuries as well as the fascinating hertitage and practices of today. The
music transported us to Southern Italy, and the dance of the women (and
few brave and kind men!) was a sight to see and contemplate. Thank
you Alessandra!
This coming weekend is a fifth week of the month so we have decided to do something different! Community
Café is a space where artists and community leaders come together to
inspire change through culture and the arts. It also provides a forum
in which Muslims and socially conscious people can bring artistic
expression back to its original roots as tools for empowerment and
ultimately social change. So come to this exciting event, stretch your spirit and social network with this creative community! When you come, look for Rosemary and Samir from Faith House.

Three couples from three congregations (one Jewish, one Muslim, one Christian), will share with us their story of interfaith dating, marriage, and life together. Then we will be able to ask them questions and share our experiences about the struggle and blessing that come with such an adventure. We will also provide a resource for further support. Plus everyone is invited to bring some special/delicious/exquisite chocolate to share for a chocolate tasting session! Plus Reverend Vince will lead us in singing some hot love songs.
