"Faith That Feeds"
We believe that faith should feed and nurture our spirits.
We believe also that faith should lead us to feed people
in the many different ways they hunger,
both physically and spiritually.

The Fifth Sunday of Lent
March 17, 2024
| |
God promises Jeremiah that a “new covenant” will be made in the future: a covenant that will allow all the people to know God by heart. The church sees this promise fulfilled in Christ, who draws all people to himself when he is lifted up on the cross. Our baptismal covenant draws us to God’s heart through Christ and draws God’s love and truth into our hearts. We join together in worship, sharing in word, song, and meal, and leave strengthened to share God’s love with all the world. | | | |

Evanston Interfaith Clergy & Leaders
Apeirogon Book Discussion
Sun. Mar. 24, 2024, 2:00 pm
Unitarian Church of Evanston, 1330 Ridge Avenue Evanston, IL 60201
Free
Join the Evanston Interfaith Clergy for a community discussion centered around the timely and thought-provoking novel “Apeirogon” by Colum McCann. This compelling narrative weaves together the stories of two fathers—one Israeli and one Palestinian—connected by tragedy and bound by a shared desire for peace. As we discuss this book, we aim to foster a space for open dialogue, understanding, and empathy.
This interfaith gathering provides an opportunity for individuals from diverse backgrounds to come together, share perspectives, and explore the themes of reconciliation, humanity, and the power of storytelling in bridging divides. Don't miss this unique chance to engage in meaningful conversations that transcend religious and cultural boundaries, uniting us in our collective journey toward mutual respect and understanding.
This event is free and open to the public. Reserve your spot now at here.
