"Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor" with Rev. Mellen Kennedy

Past event
Aug 12, 2018, 10 to 11 AM

We are a nation of immigrants and that has influenced every aspect of our lives. Let's explore this history, the contemporary situation with immigrants and asylum seekers and why these are profound spiritual issues. The service is intergenerational so children will stay in the service.

"Bread and Roses, Too" Discussion Group, 12-1 pm
You're invited to a discussion on the topic of immigration after the coffee hour. We'll be using the book, "Bread and Roses, Too" by Vermont author, Katherine Paterson, as a touchstone for the discussion which will be facilitated by Rev. Mellen. Free copies of the book available at the church..Series sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council, Springfield Town Library, Tree Farm Campground, Springfield Food Co-op, Community Asylum Seekers Project and Springfield UU.

Both the service and the discussion will be held at 21 Fairground Rd, Springfield, VT. All welcome!
