A Word from Our Ministry Team

Tent of Nations is surrounded on three sides by Israeli settlements


and on one side by the Palestinian village of Nahalin. With a
mission to build bridges of understanding, reconciliation, and
peace between people and the land, Tent of Nations has a sign at
the entrance to the farm proclaiming, We Refuse to Be Enemies.
Nassar will discuss Tent of Nations, the Israeli occupation and
process of land confiscations, including the attempts at taking his
familys farm, and the journey of his family since 1916 as they have
sought to live creatively in the midst of an increasingly violent
situation.
This event will be held at St. Austin Parishs Hecker Hall on
Saturday, April 9th at 10:00 am. For more information, please
email Pat Macy at pmacy@staustin.org

Easter blessings of joy and hope from the entire UCC team!
Thank you all for the support you showed to our newly baptized
and confirmed brothers and sisters in Christ, and we ask that you
continue to help them grow in their faith and spirituality.

Happy Easter!
