Announcements and Calendar for the Week of Nov. 4, 2012

IN OUR SHOES—youth in grades 7-12 are invited to a special gathering tonight from 5 to 7 PM. We will have a light supper, decorate shoes for our display to fight bullying, and hear inspiring stories of courage. Friends are welcome! Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. ––Elie Wiesel
