Issues Among Us: 2/28
On Tuesday, Feb. 28 we will meet at 5:30 p.m. in the lobby at the MLK Branch of the DC Public Library to visit their special exhibit, "Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley: Let the World See." This nationally touring exhibit shares the story of Emmett Till's life, shares about his mother's fight for justice, and encourages visitors to consider steps in their own work for racial and social justice in their communities.
This exhibit is recommended for ages 10 and older.
After we visit the exhibit, we'll find a space at the library to gather and discuss as a group.

This is part of our Issues Among Us Series where we go out into the community to learn from experts about the issues among us, then gather to discuss and pray over what we learned. We aim to put our faith in conversation with the problems in our community, and pray together to discern how we are called to respond. Each month we'll learn about, pray through, and act on a different issue. Click here to learn more about our Issues Among Us series.
Meeting Jesus At The Table: A Lenten Study for All Pilgrims
Our Sunday worship during lent will explore the stories of Jesus sharing meals with people, using this fabulous new study guide "Meeting Jesus at the Table." This short book includes reflections, questions, and illustrations that we'll discuss in bible study and in worship.
If you'd like a copy of the book, so you can read the chapter before worship, we'd love to order one for you. They're $12 each, but if money is a concern please don't let that stop you. If you'd like to reserve your copy, please email Jess and let her know. If you'd like to pay for one (or to pay for an extra for someone else) you can do so on our website. You can pick up you copy after worship on Sundays.
We're looking forward to exploring with you!
