A workshop presented by Dr. Battle entitled "Repeating the Miracle of Reconciliation in South Africa," will be held at St. Simon of Cyrene on Saturday, March 8, from 2 to 5 p.m. This gathering will provide us with opportunities for deep, faith-centered dialogue that allow us to explore the issues of racial division in the context of a call to unity and reconciliation. A supper hosted by St. Simon of Cyrene and St. Andrew's will conclude the day. To register for this workshop, call the Church of the Redeemer at 513.321.6700 or fill out the online form at http://www.redeemer-cincy.org/article60524.htm.

On Sunday, March 9 at 5 p.m., Dr. Battle will be the guest preacher at Redeemer at a festive Eucharist with special music shaped by the three partner parishes, which will serve as a celebration of reconciliation for the whole community. A reception will be held in Dr. Battle's honor after the service.  Grace members are encouraged to attend.

The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from the now fabled performance in March 1958, at the 92nd Street Young Men's Hebrew Association in New York. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African-American modern dancers, that performance changed forever the perception of American dance. Today, led by Artistic Director, Judith Jamison, AAADT has gone on to perform for an estimated 21 million people in 48 states and in 71 countries on six continents, including two historic residencies in South Africa. The company has earned a reputation as one of the most acclaimed international ambassadors of American culture, promoting the uniqueness of the African-American cultural experience and the preservation and enrichment of the American modern dance.  To purchase tickets or for more information contact Jim Edgy at 513-541-2415 or gechurch@fuse.net.

Future Healing Services will be held on the 2nd Wednesday of every month.

This new group is the continuation of the lively "Faith Club" book discussion group that met for the past three Sundays.  During these discussions, it quickly became clear that there is much to be gained through an open and honest discussion of issues of faith among people with differing backgrounds.  Those present came to see that Grace has more than enough diversity among its members and friends to support a real growth experience for us as individuals and as a church.

Most of us have questions about our faith that continue to nag us.  Come to the parlor after church Sunday and contribute them to the list of questions to be dealt with in subsequent meetings.

The first "real" meeting of the new group will convene over brunch at the home of Bennyce Hamilton after church on Sunday, April 13th.  Current thinking is that subsequent meetings will take place on 2nd and 4th Sundays over brunch in other folks' homes. 

Finally, thanks to Mary McLain for organizing the "Faith Club" discussions which led to the development of this exciting new discussion series.
