Join Kate at a reception this Sunday during coffee hour, and learn about her travels and photographs!

In black and white photography, Grace’s own Kate Kinney sees things in a new way. “Searching for light and dark is a spiritual act. And grey tones help create the photograph. My philosophy is that living in the grey is just right. What a great way to see the world: a camera, a train, and amazing people in Bhutan and India.”

• Guided, supervised, outdoor play during the 9:30 a.m. service after children’s time & dismissal in sanctuary
• Popsicles, water play, crafts, games
• Gaga ball!

Adult & youth volunteers needed.

Cooked: Survival by Zip Code

Discussion will follow • snacks provided!
invite friends • all are welcome

“In the summer of 1995, Chicago experienced an unthinkable disaster, when extremely high humidity and a layer of heat-retaining pollution drove the heat index up to more than 126 degrees. Cooked: Survival by Zip Code tells the story of this tragic heatwave, the most traumatic in U.S. history, in which 739 citizens died over the course of just a single week, most of them poor, elderly, and African American.

“When peeled away from the shocking headlines, the story reveals the less newsworthy but long-term crisis of pernicious poverty, economic, and social isolation and racism. Cooked is a story about life, death, and the politics of crisis in an American city that asks the question: Was this a one-time tragedy, or an appalling trend?”
