Plan to attend the Lunch and Learn on Sunday, August 16, following worship. A carry-in lunch is being planned; bring a dish to share if you’d like, but some food will also be provided. The topic will be “Our Christian Response in the Middle East”, presented by Rev. John Wagner. In 2008, he started working with Palestinian Christians. Since then he’s traveled to Israel, the West Bank, and the border to Gaza a number of times. He’s also worked within the United Methodist Church to ensure the denomination uses its resources to help bring peace and justice to the region. This program is sponsored by H.O.P.E. and Justice Ministry, Grace United Women of Faith, and the Sabbath Study.
It will be fun to have food from the Middle East, so if you are willing and able, please consider checking out recipes HERE or picking up something from your local Halal market. No pressure—there will also be something provided by Dayton Cooks!
