All congregations in Grundy County are invited to an evening of
fellowship and learning with Rev. Dr. Clare Butterfield of Faith in Place.

As a follow-up to last winter's "Creating Congregational Cultures
of Generosity" series with the Lake Institute for Faith & Giving, we
are excited to bring another dynamic speaker and topic to Grundy County
to help congregations develop their passions for action and understand
their capacity for impact.

The mission of Faith in Place is to "help people of faith understand
that issues of ecology and economy, including care for Creation, are
at the forefront of social justice.  At Faith in Place we believe in
housing the homeless, feeding the hungry and clothing the naked.  But
even if we do all those things, and love our brothers and sisters with
our whole heart, it will not matter if we neglect the ecological conditions
of our beautiful and fragile planet."

Refreshments will be served by the Outreach Committee of the
First Presbyterian Church, Morris.

PLEASE RSVP to 815-941-0852 or julie@cfgrundycounty.com

This evening of fellowship is a program of the "Faith in Giving" series
of the Community Foundation of Grundy County.
