Visit the Center for Civil and Human Rights
In 1948, shortly after World War II, a set of basic principles were established and placed before the United Nations declaring the inalienable rights of all people around the world and attempting to document the lessons learned from past decades of violence and injustice. The document, known as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), contains thirty articles, which serve as a set of principles for governments to use to remain accountable for their duty to protect the rights and freedoms of all people.
This month, in honor of our own celebration of independence, the Senior Adults are visiting the Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta on Wednesday, July 19 for a tour exploring the American Civil Rights Movement and the contemporary struggle for Human Rights around the world. For information on the museum, click here.
We will depart from the Polk Street lot at 9:30 am and eat brunch at The Atlanta Breakfast Club prior to our tour. To view their menu, click here. The cost is $20.
This is a level 2 trip. Please RSVP to Rev. Lori Ethridge at ext. 7835.
Let's Make Some Cards!
Join the Senior Adults for some paper arts on Wednesday, July 12 at 2:00 pm in room 329. We will gather to craft greeting cards for all occasions. No prior experience is necessary, and all supplies will be provided. It is my hope that those interested in making hand-crafted cards can meet on a regular basis in the near future. I envision this group becoming its own ministry, serving to encourage others by giving their time and talent to bless others through their handiwork. Looking forward to seeing you so we can rubber stamp, dye cut and paste together for the glory of God! RSVP to Rev. Lori Ethridge, ext. 7835.
