Being Salt and Light in Seattle March 11, 12

RantWoman invites her readers to the following Salt and Light event in Seattle:


(RantWoman apologizes for the blogger novice issues that are probably going to clobber the pretty images. Not that RantWoman herself unambiguously cares....; the original is not terrible as far as untagged images, but think of this as RantWoman's accessibility enhancement.)


Subject: Being Salt and Light: in Seattle March 11 & 12

Being Salt and Light: Friends living the kingdom of God in a broken world


Their concern for youth has led them to work with former gang members in El Salvador.

You are invited to hear Aminda and Maudiel Arévalo at the FWCC gathering Being Salt and Light: Friends living the kingdom of God in a broken world, on Friday, March 11th at North Seattle Friends Church, and continuing on Saturday, March 12th at University Friends Meeting.

Maudiel and Aminda have worked together for 28 years towards peace for the individual, in the home and within the family. They are pastors and leaders in the Yearly Meeting of the Evangelical Friends Church in El Salvador.


Aminda and Maudiel will provide opportunities to relate their experiences to current issues of 'brokenness' that Friends are facing in their communities. We hope Friends will take away something that is relevant-both practically and spiritually-to our lives today.

URK. RantWoman did what she sometimes does and failed to read the whole registration webpage: there is a $40 suggested donation for this event. Please give what you can and do not let money keep you away.


-----------
Accessibility Addendum: RantWoman congratulates the Salt and Light organizers for including a check box to make accessibility requests in the registration process. RantWoman can think of a few accessibility requests it might make sense for the far-off organizers to need to inquire of local contacts about and RantWoman will wait to see if that occurs.
