Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church and Temple Isaiah are partnering to host a multi-week commemoration of the 250^th year of America for congregations in our community. We all know these are divisive and bitter times. This program, faith250, invites us to build a more robust, healthy, and interconnected interfaith and civic community. Clusters of congregations across the country will be participating.

On each Wednesday evening in June, we will explore one of four foundational texts from American history:

• The Declaration of Independence
• Frederick Douglass’ “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”
• The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus
• America the Beautiful by Katharine Lee Bates

An expert will help frame each text for us. Then we will gather in intentionally-created small groups.  During these conversations, we will explore the texts from our diverse perspectives, articulate the values we share, deepen our relationships, and reflect on our role as people of faith in this challenging moment.

Plan to join your neighbors in this once-in-a generation opportunity! To read more about the program, visit faith250.org.
