Soup and Solidarity

On Friday, March 27th our community will be fasting.

Fasting is "the voluntary denial of an otherwise normal function for the sake of intense spiritual activity" (Richard Foster)

Its purpose is "to interrupt the routines and so sharpen our awarness of the eternal essentials" (Eugene Peterson)

On Friday, we will voluntarily not eat. In doing so, we will seek to be in solidarity with the hungry in our city and our world.

Solidarity means: "an intentional and costly stance of being with the poor of our society, those who are left out, disregarded, invisible, unwanted. It is a commitment to foster deepening human communion across social lines of exclusion that are fraught with fear and suspicion" (Dave Diewert, Streams of Justice)

In parks and on street corners, we will break our fast by serving soup to people in our community and eating together. It will be a chance to actively and publicly engage in Christian discipleship.

Details:
Meet: Granville Chapel 7pm
Dress: Warm. Could rain.
Bring: Yourself and friends
