Sunday, November 16
David Colby, preaching
Psalm 85 promises that in God’s time “Righteousness and Peace will kiss each other; faithfulness will spring up from the ground and righteousness will look down from the sky.” Worship will explore how we can be involved in the work of human rights and introduce the 2015 VocalPoint beneficiary organization – Advocates for Human Rights. Members of VocalPoint will join our Central Choir as our special music. Before worship, you are invited to a 9:30 Adult Education Class featuring Theresa Dykoschak, staff attorney with the Women’s Human Rights Program.
Following worship all are invited to join for our 3 rd Sunday lunch, during which a special offering – The Thank Offering – will be encouraged and received.
Central is on the Green Line! We are just 1/2 block from the 10th Street Station. Free parking is available in the Minnesota Public Radio Lot and at the World Trade Center Ramp. See our website for more information.
