Personal — Passionate — Progressive

For details about J on T: See "Progressive-Our Outreach" on our menu bar. SERIES: VOCATIONS. So many of us have built a career. What, however, is our life's calling? Is it reflected through our career? Is it more than our career? Is it other than our career? Can one have a calling without a career? Through food & food-for-thought, we listen to and engage a BPC member and her/his call journey.

WHEN & WHERE: Wednesday, March 3, 6:30 (supper) & 7:30ish (program), the Fireside Room at La Madeleine French Bakery & Cafe (Old Georgetown @ Woodmont). PARKING: Free at Lot 49 across the street! Simply validate ticket at the restaurant.

PRESENTER: Joan Kloepfer. Joan is employed by the Heinrich Boll Foundation (named after the late Nobel laureate for Literature). How does she consider her work there a reflection of her life's calling?

BOOK (optional): For this J on T and the next two, you are encouraged -- but certainly not required -- to purchase and bring with you a powerful little book by Quaker educator Parker J. Palmer, Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation (Jossey-Bass, 2000). We'll discuss the first two chapters on Wednesday, ca. 7:20-7:40p.

Hope to see you then! Invite a friend ... & pass the word!

Our New Statement of Welcome!

Opposite on this page, you will note our brief, clear Statement of Welcome approved on June 15 by our Session (church board). Most mainline Protestant churches such as our own -- never exempt from the human condition -- have played a particularly bigoted role in rejecting our lesbian, gay, bisexual, & transgender sisters & brothers from full participation in our congregations.
