Contemporaries | Second Floor Parlor
Year-End Celebration and Breakfast
Join us for breakfast, a discussion of our class year, and maybe even a hymn sing!
Journey With Scripture | Second Floor Library
The apostle Paul writes “To each is given the manifestation of the spirit for the common good.” For Paul, the gift of Christ’s spirit is a publicly manifested force striving towards the unity of social justice and individual freedom. We are created and called to work for the “Commonwealth” beyond arbitrary borders. This is good news. Please join us for our last class.
This week, our readings are: Acts 2:1-21; Psalm 104:24-34, 35b; I Corinthians 12:3b-13; John 7:37-39.
Seekers | Room 234
Thanking our Iraqi and Afghan Translators by Resettling them in the U.S.
“I’m alive today because of my translator”—a quote from the No One Left Behind website, NoOneLeft.org. This organization helps with the resettlement and transition of Iraqi and Afghan translators and interpreters, who have worked with American soldiers in their war-torn countries. They work to bridge the gap between our State Dept. and the current refugee programs. Joel Laudenslage, director of operations at No One Left Behind, will be with us to talk about their mission, and opportunities for us to get involved.
Soul Food | Third Floor Music Room
Discussing Meditations
We will conclude our class year with a discussion of a meditation on the Holy Spirit and prayer by Richard Rohr, led by the Rev. Joe Hajdu, Steve Evrard, and Judy Roberts.
