Interfaith Day of Learning
Shabbat, Jan 18th 10:30a to 5:30p
A group of interfaith clergy from around Prince William County meets for a monthly lunch to share fellowship and try all the delicious culinary options around the county. For the last few months we have been talking about creating a space for our communities to truly learn together and be in dialogue, and we are pleased to now formally invite you to such a day! The Program Schedule: Resilience 10:30-12 A Jewish proverb states, "Ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders." Come together for a reflective session of intergenerational healing and connection and learn about how faith communities can build resilience. Lunch 12:00-1:30 Imagine a Just World 1:30-3 Using John Lennon’s “Imagine” and Genesis as a catalyst, this visual arts workshop challenges participants to imagine what a perfect world looks like and identify what stands in the way of bringing that vision into reality.
