There are two events scheduled for this Sunday, September 11 that members of the Unitarian Church of Evanston might want to participate in.
Beginning at 11:45am, following the Sunday morning service, a peace vigil will be held on the east lawn of the church, facing Ridge Ave. We will be led in Dances of Universal Peace and prayers from the major faith traditions. The large peace dove, constructed last summer by members of our church school, will be on display.
This event will be followed at 2pm by a Walk ‘n Talk along Dodge Ave in Evanston from Dar-Us –Sunnnah Masjid at 2045 Brown Ave to Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation, 303 Dodge Ave (see map). The walk is sponsored by PeaceAble Cities Evanston and local faith communities. The walk will symbolically link the various faith traditions of Evanston as we meet our neighbors and walk between the two sites.
A lunch will be served by the Rainbow Coalition after the service for those who won’t have time to return home before the march. Participants in the march should meet at 1:30pm in the church parking lot so car pools can be arranged to get folks to the starting point of the 2.7 mile march and then pick them up at the end and return them to the church.
If you have questions or want to volunteer to help in these events, please leave a comment on our blog, and we’ll get back to you.
