Screening of Palestinian Student Films, August 7
Join us for movie night in the dining room for a screening of Palestinian films made by students of our partner, Dar al Kalima University of the Arts and Culture. The screening will take place August 7, at 7 pm, in the Dining Room. A brief discussion time will follow afterward. Popcorn and lemonade will be served! Note that these films are reflective of the current lives of young Palestinians, so the content might not be appropriate for all ages. Contact Caryl Weinberg at cweinberg@firstpresevanston.org with questions.
Mission Prayer
Please pray for the FPCE group visiting the Holy Land now through June 19. Not only are they visiting many of the historic sites, but the group will also take part in a concentrated time of study with Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac and other leaders of Christmas Lutheran Church, our sister church in Bethlehem. Pray that those on the trip and the hosts would discern what a true sister church relationship might look like. The team will also be spending time with Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb, President of another FPCE partner, Dar al Kalima University of the Arts. Ask that the Lord would strengthen bonds of peace and friendship through this visit, and deepen the lives of all those involved as followers of Jesus together.
