Important Usher Training in September

Sundays, September 16, 23, and 30, 10:10 a.m. in Grace Hall

All ushers are asked to attend a September training session to review new church emergency and security measures for worship services in the sanctuary. Also, a "brush up" on current ushering procedures will be given to assure we are a welcoming congregation. The training will be given during the 10:TEN hour on three Sundays - 9/16, 9/23 and 9/30 - in Grace Hall. All sanctuary ushers need to attend only one of the sessions on a Sunday convenient for them. The lead ushers are coordinating the attendance for their teams.

Why Should Peacemakers be Concerned about Palestine/Israel?

Tuesday, September 18, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. in Rodney Chapel

This is a presentation/discussion, led by Dr. Rob Abel and Ms. Mike Abel, on how the 70-year occupation of Palestine not only tramples human rights but denies the essence of Judaism, and why we as Americans - Jews, Muslims, Christians - should be concerned. Dr. Rob Abel is a Jewish-American ophthalmologist who has worked in Israel and the Arab world. Mike Abel is a Palestinian-American who has traveled extensively to the Middle East, West Bank and Gaza on peace and medical missions.

Adult Ed: Dead Sea Scrolls with Dr. Alan Fox

Thursday, September 20, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
in Rodney Chapel

Dead Sea Scrolls (also Qumran Caves Scrolls) are ancient Jewish religious, mostly Hebrew, manuscripts found in the Qumran Caves near the Dead Sea. The texts have great historical, religious, and linguistic significance because they include the second-oldest known surviving manuscripts of works later included in the Hebrew Bible canon, along with deuterocanonical and extra-biblical manuscripts which preserve evidence of the diversity of religious thought in late Second Temple Judaism. Presented by Alan Fox, Ph.D., Professor of Asian and Comparative Philosophy and Religion at the University of Delaware.
