SWIFT
Annual Picnic---
Sunday,
July 23, PalosPark
Last month, St. John's
became the 15th area congregation (and first Episcopal Church!) to join
the SouthWest InterFaith Team (SWIFT), which promotes harmony and joint
community service among the three Abrahamic faiths: Christianity, Judaism and
Islam. This month, our first opportunity
to participate in a SWIFT event is upon us.
On Sunday, July 23, from 1-5 pm, at Peace Memorial Church UCC,
in Palos Park (10300 West 131st St.), SWIFT will be hosting its annual picnic
for families from all member congregations. Please attend, if you can, and feel free to
bring along a friend or two. Fun and
food for all ages will be provided, from BBQ, desserts, and soft drinks to
balloons, a bouncy house, piñata, and even a clown. Embrace this opportunity to share faithful
fellowship with your Jewish, Muslim, and Christian neighbors! RSVP by
Monday, July 17 to Rob McManamy or Bryan Burke.
