The Good News Festival Joins Border Church
2022-12-11 11:45 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
On Sunday, December 11, Bishop Susan Brown Snook will visit Border Church—a bi-national worshiping community of migrants, the deported, and their loved ones. Joining her will be Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, ELCA Synod Bishop David Nagley, and Bishop William Barber of the Poor People’s Campaign.
Since November 2011, people from the United States and Mexico have gathered each Sunday afternoon to share communion at Friendship Park, the historic border meeting place at the western edge of the border, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Somehow, mysteriously, the border wall becomes the table of the Lord as people gather on both sides of the border to celebrate the love of Christ together.
Worship begins at 1:30 pm. Good News Festival guests and Episcopalians will gather on the US side at 11:45 am to hike to Friendship Park. Be prepared for up to 2 miles hike in each direction. Bring water, hats, sunscreen, and wear comfortable clothes. People with mobility issues are encouraged to attend online HERE. Directions to Friendship Park can be found HERE. Details on Border Church can be found HERE. Details on Friendship Park can be found HERE.

The Bible and the Qur’an: A Comparative Study
2023-01-10 08:00 - 17:00 | Zoom
The Bible and the Qur’an: A Comparative Study
What would you like to know about the Qur’an? How is it different from, and similar to, the Bible? How does the Qur’an portray Abraham, Moses, Mary, and Jesus? The answers to these questions, and many more, will surprise and engage you. To Muslims, the Qur’an is the eternal, uncreated Word of God—not an inspired scripture like the Bible, but rather the literal divine Word descended from heaven to earth.
Join The Rev Bill Zettinger and Bob Capettini as they conduct a Zoom Bible study on this DVD series. Notes will be provided each week. Classes will be on Wednesdays beginning at 10:00 am January 11 through April 12, with weeks off for Ash Wednesday and Holy Week.
For more information or to be added to their Bible study distribution list, please email Bob at: rcapetti@sdsu.edu
