A Service for Repair,
organized by Congregate C'ville - Sunday, August 12, from 4 to 6 pm at First Presbyterian Church, 500 Park St.
The service will be led by 6 women of color, who will offer poetry, music, dance, contemplation and communal ritual. The space is intended to hold the pain of those who have given themselves to the struggle for justice, offer healing, honor those who resisted last summer, and challenge those of us who wrestle with our complicity in white supremacy. After the service, we'll work in groups to learn practical ways that we may enter the work of justice and repair.
The
Annual Food Drive
for the Emergency Food Network will be held, beginning
today, August 12, through Sunday, August 26
. Leave items on the designated table in Fellowship Hall or the table at the entrance to the church office, where you’ll find a list of suggested items. The hungry people of Charlottesville and Albemarle County thank you!
