Reflection, Lamentation and Response: Unpacking the Judicial Council
Decisions
A meeting for Northaven members and
friends, Sunday November 13 at 7 pm
Northaven UMC will hold a special gathering on
Sunday, November 13 to unpack the recent Judicial Council rulings, share our
common lament and concerns for the situation, and begin to make a plan of
action for the future. The intention is share the best information available
about these rulings, set aside time for the sharing of feelings and prayers of
lament, and then begin to plan a response as God's people
together.
Eric Folkerth will present a brief background of the "facts" of the cases involved, what the rulings in these cases were, and what implications there are for the both individuals and the church as a whole. Bill McElvaney will lead a time of lamentation, prayer, and community sharing. Members of Northaven and their friends will then begin to develop plans of faithful witness and action in response to these decisions.

We hope you can plan to attend this important meeting as we come together to respond to these troubling decisions.
