Peace and Social Concerns Committee asks you to please join an interfaith gun violence prevention procession in Wayne on April 11 starting at 3:30 at Wayne United Methodist Church. The purpose of the event is both to honor those lost in gun murders and to demand stronger and more effective gun laws and regulations. We’ll walk less than a mile visiting four churches. The program will end back at Wayne Methodist United approximately 1 1/2 hours later. This program will be held under the auspices of the Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence organization, and participating churches include Wayne United Methodist, Wayne Central Baptist, Wayne Presbytarian and St. Mary’s Episcopal. The program will include testimony, music and prayer. A memorial to the 447 lost will be represented by a tee shirt display. There will be an opportunity for letter writing to legislators in support of sensible gun policy. Feel free to bring a sign: “No more gun deaths,” “End gun violence,” “Sensible gun laws” or along those lines.

April 18, at rise of Meeting
As individuals and as a community, we’ve experienced all kinds of distress and loss during this difficult
year of a pandemic. At the same time, there are ways we’ve learned, adjusted, and adapted that have been
truly positive.
Care and Counsel will facilitate an interactive Forum on April 18th so we can share beneficial ideas and
experiences from this past year as we prepare to transition forward. We look forward to you participating!
In preparation, please consider the following questions ahead of time. Then bring your thoughts to the
Forum.
1) What have you learned from the experience of this pandemic year that has helped sustain or grow your
spirit as an individual and/or as a member of a community?
2) Have your personal or spiritual priorities changed in any way from this experience? If so, which of
these lessons would you like to carry forward and continue, including after the pandemic has resolved?
3) Which of these lessons would you like to see the meeting include as part of our communal life into the
future?

What can we do as members/attenders for those in need? We have identified key nonprofits and groups that our Meeting and members/attenders can support. Below is a partial listing of some worthy causes that we can endorse as suggested opportunities:
