This will be a great session (moderated like a conversation) that will bring together elders and others from diverse cultural communities.

“JANE’S WALK” IN WHITNEY PIER: Saturday, May 5, starting at 2:00pm from the Whitney Pier Historical Museum. Our church will be part of the walk, and we will visit and talk about the many one-of-a-kind multicultural places and spaces of the Pier. On that same weekend in cities around the world, citizens will be doing “Jane’s Walks”. The purpose of the walks is to generate conversations and positive change. “Jane’s Walks” are named after the late Jane Jacobs, the globally known best-selling writer on improving cities.

FOOD HANDLERS’ CERTIFICATION COURSE: The next course is at the Grand Lake Road Fire Hall on June 20. We will need several parishioners to have this course, as our new kitchen will require on site a person with this certification when food preparation is happening. If you can spare a day to take the course, please speak with any member of the Rada. Several people from other faith communities who are working with us on the Community Kitchen Project will also be taking this course.
