First of all, I want to put out a reminder that on April 28th at 7pm we will be having a ONE Northside Homelessness Teach-In in the sanctuary. If I get requests to include zoom on this meeting, we will do zoom too. To do zoom, I need RSVP's from people who will be participating that way. Please email me at this address! Jesus said that however we treat those who are struggling is how we treat him, so I think the mandate is clear that we come together to create more housing for our housing insecure neighbors. I hope you join me! 

Our word this week comes to us from Russian - which I realize is a country with a lot of deserved negative connotations right now, but that is not the fault of the language - or most of the people that speak it, and refusing to acknowledge the humanity and positive things about the culture and language doesn't help anyone, it just furthers the cycle of hurt and hate.

I’d like to invite you to a Housing Crisis Teach-In with ONE Northside. ONE Northside is one of our community partners for creating change in the world, and works on many local issues including housing. Please join I and ONE Northside in the sanctuary on 4/28 at 7pm to learn more about housing insecurity in Chicago and what we can do about it.
