Indicate on the check that it is for "hurricane relief".

For more information or to make a donation to support this trip, visit: https://www.youcaring.com/hinesburgyouthproject-1093407 Sunday, June 24th ~ 11:15am ~ Practicing God-talk will meet during coffee hour to discuss a mission for spiritual health using “How Evangelicals Became White” by The Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas, dean of Episcopal Divinity School in Sojourners (April 2018). America’s Pilgrim and Puritan forebears “believed themselves descendants of an ancient Anglo-Saxon people, ‘free from the taint of intermarriages,’ who uniquely possessed high moral values and an ‘instinctive love for freedom.’” An opposite biblical theme: “There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28). Read the article online or print it out at https://bit.ly/2HhQXoA. Copies of the full article will be available on the back table in the sanctuary as you leave on June 17th and 24th. On June 24th, get your copy and snack and meet in Classroom 1 for 20-25 minutes of discussion. Friday, June 29th ~ 5:30pm-7:00pm ~ Join us for our monthly free community dinner hosted by the UCH Church Council. All donations will support the VT Foodbank backpack program. |
