Through These Time-Sensitive Opportunities | |
|
Join this new virtual monthly series hosted by the Presbyterian Church (USA).
As Christians, we are called to act in the face of suffering, injustice and strife – to be repairers of the breach. The fuel behind such action is a mixture of faith, hope, discernment, spiritual nourishment, and community.
Presbyterian Advocacy Hour will bring together committed people of faith each month to fuel up with information on the most pressing issues. Church members, lay leaders, pastors, mid-council staff, all Presbyterians and friends are welcome! Get nourishment for your spirit, essential connections and resources, relationship building, and direction for how to stay in righteous movement while being your best self.

In coordination with Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) and Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center, Rev. Dr. Shannon Smythe is facilitating a delegation to Palestine/Israel on behalf of the Palestine Justice Network of the PC(USA).
This delegation will be geared towards first-time pilgrims to Palestine or those who have gone before but it has been a while. The goal is to build a diverse and multi-generational delegation with folks from early 20s to folks in their 60s and up. We have been invited to "come and see" for the purpose of expressing solidarity by bearing witness to the experience of Palestinians living under Israeli occupation, hearing firsthand from Palestinians about their resilience and resistance amidst daily challenges. They invite us not only to "come and see" but also ask for our commitment to "go and tell" by returning home and remaining in steadfast solidarity with them, using our voices and becoming agents of change in our locations and contexts.
