APARTHEID-FREE PLEDGE DISCUSSION – Sunday, October 27, following worship. Lakeshore is considering signing the Apartheid-Free pledge and will host a series of opportunities to listen and learn from one another where God might be leading us in this important decision. Oct. 27 will be a chance to learn more about the pledge, ask clarifying questions, and share responses to what it would ask of us. November 24 we will continue the conversation focusing on listening to one another’s thoughts on whether the pledge is right for Lakeshore.
PALESTINE FRIENDSHIP TOUR November 3-16 – I am co-leading a Baptist Peace Fellowship delegation to Palestine to bear witness to their suffering, understand better all that is happening in the region, join in solidarity and discern how to best respond. There are still a few spots available. More info here.
