Description of the afternoon program:

“Rekindle the gift of God that is in you… for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control” (2 Tim 1:6-7).  “Behold I will do a new thing” Isaiah 43:19

We are living in different times, do we have the what we need now?  How can we find our spiritual bearings in the face of the institutional cruelty locally, nationally and internationally? What is the Truth that is needed now and how do we tell it’s story?  

We will listen to the story as told in Isaiah that the community learned to tell during the exile in Babylon, and listen to the story told in Ramallah by Jean Zaru in the present time.

Through their stories, we expect to begin to find new threads of Truth that speaks to our current condition — the story that we need today. A story that equips, empowers and encourages us.
