Dear Friends,
You are invited – from Burlington or your own community – to share with neighbors of different faiths in a Gathering of Remembrance, Unity and Hope this Saturday.
When: Saturday, 6:30-7:00 p.m. April 27, 2013
Where: Burlington MA Town Common
Who: Everyone young and old
What: A time not so much of vigil, or memorial – but more of making visible the bonds of community that are so important following the Boston bombings and the hope that leads us forward from here. There will be leaders and speakers from Jewish, Christian and Islamic traditions, and music. There will also be an opportunity to sign cards to be sent to those recovering from injury. Especially valuable is the participation of members of the Islamic Center in this gathering.
SO PLEASE…consider our church’s commitment to “doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with God” and be part of a good turnout on the Common. Chances are it could fit in before your other plans for Saturday evening. NOTE: I have offered our church as source of some volunteers to give handouts to people as they gather on the Common. So please let me know if you are interested, and can arrive by 6:15 on Saturday!
Thanks and peace,
Rod
