Ever thought there was too much violence in the world and not enough peace? Here's your chance to come together in peace and thanksgiving with people who are.... (wait for it).... different from you! Every year, the North End religious organizations gather together to offer thanks to the Holy One for all the blessings we enjoy, especially the blessings we find in community. Bring a hat or scarf (handmade or store-bought) to donate. Yarn and needles available in the donation area at Faith, knitting lessons free from Pastor Abby.

Friday, November 28th, 8:30am Annual Turkey Trot for ending World Hunger
It's the day after Thanksgiving... here are your options: go shopping with two million other people desperate to get out of the house; wash the dirty dishes from yesterday; look at the leftovers in the fridge; or Turkey Trot for World Hunger! IF you chose D, congratulations! You will enjoy a morning with your friends and neighbors, walking, running, strolling, skipping, jogging, or skating your way around Green Lake! All funds raised will benefit the ELCA World Hunger Appeal and the Lutheran Volunteer Corps. Sponsor sheets are available in the Narthex.

Saturday, December 6th, from 9am- 5pm. Art and Hope
Where: University Friends Meeting, 4001 9th Ave. NE Seattle, 98105 (University District).
Who: Youth ages 15-20.
Cost: $25-50 sliding scale, scholarships available.
To register: email lpfyouth@gmail.com, call (206) 720-0313 ask for Monica or Lindsey.

Description: In this day-long workshop, we'll use the arts and hands-on activities to explore our hopes for our world and how we can make them a reality. You don't have to consider yourself an "artist" to attend… this is art for everyone!

During the day, we will spend time doing personal reflection, group activities exploring peace and justice, learning skills for making change, and encouraging each other. No matter how much you know about justice, or how much you have been involved in your community, you'll find like-minded friends who will inspire you.

We encourage you to register and come with other friends from your school, student group, youth group, or church. Spread the word!

This workshop is sponsored by Lutheran Peace Fellowship, but is open to people from all spiritual traditions. We will do all we can to foster a space that is safe for folks of all race, class, ethnic, gender, religious, ability, and sexual identities. The facilitators are LPF youth trainers Monica Fisk and Lindsey Bulger, who bring to this training broad experience in youth leadership. In the past decade, LPF has presented more than 450 leadership workshops, including 70 intensive trainings. In evaluations, participants regularly describe such trainings with expressions like "Excellent"..."Just what I needed"..."This was so inspiring."

June 23rd-30th, 2009: Service trip to Lantern Hill in Baja California, Mexico
