Mark your calendars for the 3rd in this three-part series, and plan to join us at First UU on August 9 at 11:30 am (after the service) for the next scheduled Middle East Peace conversation. Please join us prepared to learn, share perspectives, and engage in open & respectful dialogue. The covenant for the discussions will be reviewed and adjusted as needed at the start of each session. They are scheduled to begin after service in the Lower Level, so please pack a nut-free! lunch.

If you are seeking more opportunities for direct action and advocacy in support of the Palestinian people, please consider joining the Palestine Advocacy & Awareness Group, PAAG.  Please reach out to Raidah Hudson if you would like to get involved with PAAG or be included in the event/meeting email list.
