For this Sunday's service, we invited the project's organizers to speak. Mr. Jeff Kunkle, a faculty member at McFarland High School who was highly involved in organizing the project, along with other faculty and students, will be present to share reflections on the experience.
The “Facing Intolerance” exhibit will be on display at the Overture Center until Dec. 7. The exhibit features black-and-white portraits of students who have been victimized by intolerance, combined with anonymous quotes explaining their feelings. It was originally presented at the McFarland High School in coordination with performances of The Laramie Project last year.
This is the second Community Heroes award presented by the congregation; in 2013, Katie Gletty-Syoen of the McFarland Community Garden was the recipient.
The theme of our November 16 service is “Turning Swords into Plowshares,” based on a Bible passage from the book of Isaiah. Our music, prayers, and reflections will focus on turning what is destructive into a force for good.
