The Day after Christmas - December 26

I encourage all to join in our alternative options for celebrating Christmas:

December 27 Worship is Canceled

We encourage all to attend a 5:00 pm interfaith service at St. Matthias Episcopal Church (1 Dundee St.) focused on the plight of immigrants. Also at St. Matthias that day:


3:15-4:45 conversation with Rabbi Robert Cabelli on "Understanding the Wailing Wall and Public Lament through the lens of Jewish faith and the Hebrew Scriptures."


After the worship service, a silent march to the Asheville/Buncombe Detention Center for a prayer vigil, then followed by a Feast of Thanksgiving at First Congregational Church (20 Oak St.).


Rabbi Cabelli will also speak on Saturday evening, Dec. 27, on "Understanding immigration through the lens of Exodus, the Jewish faith and Hebrew Scripture" (also at St. Matthias).


Our next time together is January 3: Theme: "Resolutions vs. Being Resolute".
