Wednesdays: A Time for In Gathering
6:00 - Warm and refocus your spirit with a simple meditation service. We usually gather upstairs, in the meeting room. When we host a Bailout Theater, we'll meet downstairs in the Garden Room.
7:00 - (or immediately following 6:00 service) - Reclaim your roots in our adult education seminar, “Roots for the Uprooted,” co-presented by Community Ministers, Michael, and Donna. In February and March, we’re “rooting around” in the stories of our dysfunctional ancestral family’s struggles - with each other, with empire and culture, and with God. Sound familiar? It should. This week’s focus text is Genesis 29:15 - 30:24.
Stories from Dadaab
A presentation of short films produced by refugee youth in the Dadaab refugee camp, some of whom have lived there since the early 1990s. This work represents the culmination of filmmaking workshops held in Dadaab by independent filmmakersSu Kim and David Sutcliffe in collaboration with The Great Globe Foundation and Filmaid International and their project was supported in part by a grant from the American Embassy in Nairobi. The films share the joys, sorrows, terror, relief and humor of the refugee experience.
Michael Littig will discuss his work with the Dadaab Theater Project, a partnership with UNHCR, US Department of State, Filmaid, and Save the Children. The Dadaab Theater Project, promotes cultural exchange through theater in the Dadaab Refugee Camp in northeastern Kenya.
