TODAY: We have the Library Committee (Noon-1:00) and Peace and Social Concerns Committee (Noon-1:00pm) and Hunger and Homelessness Taskforce Meetings (noon-1:00pm).  An opportunity for education and fellowship is presented at the “12 Steps to Compassionate Life” study group, meeting in Decatur Place Room, beginning at noon.

 

The situation for LGBT people in many countries in Africaand elsewhere is dire and getting worse.  Laws have been passed that increase penalties against the “offense” of homosexuality.  In as many as four countries, the penalty is death.  Some of us will be discussing these issues and what FMW can do about it today at 12 Noon in the Parlor.  Please feel free to join us!

 

Next Sunday:There will be singing at 10:00 am in the Meeting Room. Then, at noon, there will be committee meetings for Ministry & Worship, Religious Education, Membership, and the Marriage & Family committees.

 

On Wednesday, Aug. 6 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, modern-day abolitionist Matt Friedman and his two teenage sons will bring their Anti-Human Trafficking Campaign to Friends Meeting of Washington. They will introduce a new action-based campaign, “Breaking the Links,” to raise young people’s awareness about modern day slavery.
