On Sunday, May 3rd Professor Patrick Henry, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and Literature at Whitman College, along with his wife Mary Anne, will be our guests at Peace.  Dr. Henry will give a special presentation to the adult and youth classes at 9:15am and will show the film  by Pierre Savage, “Weapons of the Spirit” following worship. 

“Weapons of the Spirit” tells the remarkable story about how a small Protestant village in south central France became a safe haven for Jewish refugees for the duration of the WW2.  Pastor Kindem and his family were able to visit Le Chambon during their sabbatical journey last May to learn first hand about the resistance efforts led by Pastors Andre Trocme and Edouard Theiss and others throughout of the Vivarais Lignon Plateau region of south central France.  It’s a story that deserves to be told.

Prof Henry, who has written and spoken extensively about Le Chambon and Jewish Resistance movements during WW2,  will meet with our adult class at 9:15 on May 3, and then, following worship, we’ll have a simple lunch, see the film by Pierre Savage, himself a child survivor of the holocaust, and have further conversation. 

Please mark your calendars and tell your friends!  COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE WELCOME.  Please call the church office to RSVP for lunch: 935-1962.
