LCM has several important announcements for you

We have a couple of special announcements for you........
 
Friday the 16th is our Craft Night--come with your favorite craft or work with beads or work with fabric paint--Plus we have snacks and prizes.
          Johnson Center Room G ---6-11pm   Everyone is welcome so come join us for the whole evening or for a little while!
 
Be sure to save Sept. 30th for our Bar-b-que to be held at Lord of Life Lutheran--complete with free food and rides and singing!!
 
Here is a special opportunity coming up at the end of October----

 

Dear Students,

        I am pleased to invite the students of George Mason University to a unique and enriching opportunity for your campus faith community. HCEF will be holding its 13th Annual International Conference on October 28-29, at the National Presbyterian Church in Washington D.C. Through the generosity of our sponsors, we offer scholarships to cover the cost of attendance for the first 100 students who register. 

        This conference represents a rare opportunity for Christians to enrich their lives intellectually and spiritually through knowledge of the Christian faith in its birthplace, the Holy Land.  HCEF is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization committed to building bridges of peace through dialogue and action, and to the presence and wellbeing of Arab Christians in the Holy Land. One important method by which this can be achieved is through global Christian solidarity. 

        These Palestinian Christians face confinement by checkpoints and the separation wall, land confiscations and home demolitions alongside their Muslim neighbors.  The Christians in the Holy Land are an essential part of the society and peace process, but they are in danger of disappearing.  Since 1948, the Christian population in the Holy Land has dwindled from 18% to less than 1.5% due to immigration as a result of this oppression and > insecurity. Without a presence in the Holy Land, global Christianity would lose its living roots.

        We have lined up many dynamic speakers for you, about whom you can read more on the conference flier.   Dr. Hanan Ashrawi of the Palestinian Legislative Council is our keynote speaker. 

        Please share and discuss this invitation and attached flier with your campus community. Students should register as soon as possible in order to take advantage of our limited scholarships.

        For more information about the conference or HCEF, visit our website at www.hcef.org.  I can be reached by phone at (301) 951 9400 if you have further questions.

        For registration, please contact Chiara Cardone at ccardone@hcef.org, or (301) 951 9400 ext. 206.  I look forward welcoming many students to this year's conference.

 

Kindest regards,

 

Rateb Y. Rabie, KCHS

President/CEO
