If you can bring cheese & crackers, fresh fruit, or some cookies for a simple reception, please let Margaret England know!
IS STILL ON THE BALLOT!
Don’t cave to voter suppression tactics – keep spreading the word that people need toVOTE YES on Ballot Question #1.
Remember – this proposed change to the Real Estate Transfer Tax, which is paid only when a building is sold, will only impact around 4% of sales across the city. This small change will create an annual revenue stream of $100 million dollars to address & combat homelessness in Chicago.
Also – if you missed Dick Simpson’s excellent op-ed in the Sun-Times this week – check it out here!
This month, our Helping Hands offering is being pooled to buy grocery store gift cards for recently arrived migrants & asylum seekers.
The Outreach Committee is planning to match donations from the congregation, so please be generous!
We’ll pass cards out to anyone who wants to help distribute them
at a worship service in March.
Together, we can do more than we can accomplish alone.
I was ashamed on Tuesday
when the U.S. cast the sole vote
against a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.
Beloveds – is this who we are?
CALL. EMAIL. ORGANIZE
for a PERMANENT Cease Fire TODAY!
Dave Safeblade would love to see you at Coffee Talk! Pop in to share some news, ask for prayers, or just visit with friends!
Our Lenten theme this year is
Challenging Conversations with Compassion
We will be reflecting on ways to speak from our heart and remain our best selves while engaging with those who have different opinions from us on things we hold dear.
This Wednesday – February 28 – you are invited to deeper engagement and practice.
6:30pm in the Nambu Chapel – simple soup supper
7-8pm – guided conversation in a hybrid format.
Join us in person or in the Zoom Sanctuary!
Get busy reading!
The next Book Club selection is There There by Tommy Orange.
Dick Simpson will lead the discussion on
Saturday, March 16th at 10am.
