Visit the Faith in Action Corner Now Set Up in Forbes Hall

The table on the southeast corner of Forbes Hall has been the physical homebase for social justice work in our church for many years. Over the years, thetable and its bulletin board fell on hard times. The table was frequently litteredwith fliers, pamphlets, program announcements and trash that had nothing todo with Faith in Action. The table was hard to move and it diminished floorspace in Forbes Hall when the area was used for functions unrelated to socialaction.

Consequently,the Faith in Action Commission, with concurrence from the Board of Directors,removed the table and bulletin board from Forbes Hall on November 12. The bulletinboard has been replaced with a small, portable bulletin board, and a portabletable will be used and stored away after use each Sunday.

The new look for the Faith in Action corner of Forbes Hall is shown in thephotograph. We look forward to letting you know about our social justice work,to give you opportunities for expressing your opinions about social justicematters by signing petitions, and to attract volunteers to provide food forour monthly dinners at Step Up on Second and thrice yearly dinners at TurningPoint.

We invite you to stop by the table, meet our Faith in Action volunteers, andfind out more about our work. Most of the time Lyn Armondo,Cathie Gentile or Marge Zifferblatt will beat the table, but other volunteers will serve as well. We hope you like thesechanges and that you'll give us feedback about how we can further improve howwe function.
