Worship Sharing with Movement

Saturday, April 4, 10:00-11:30am in the Meeting Room
Note: This is a change in date
Every first Saturday, from 10 to 11:30 at the Meetinghouse, we invite you to explore using movement as part of your spiritual practice. In Worship Sharing with Movement, we will share the experience of pausing, grounding and listening, with curiosity and care, moving as we are led. We will move in solitude, in dyads, and in community. We will open and close with movement to a song. Please feel free to join us even if this is a very new direction for you. If you have questions, you’re welcome to talk with one of us. Betsey Kenworthy, Lynn Kitajima, Ann Marie Marriott, Kepper Petzing, and Art Okada. We have changed from 4th Saturdays to 1st Saturdays from April forward.

Genocide In International Law And Its Application To Gaza

Sponsored by the Northwest Quaker Israel-Palestine Network. Register at https://tinyurl.com/3ptfnj77. What is international law? Why and how was it established? How does it apply to Gaza? Paul O’Brien, Executive Director of Amnesty International, will offer insights and stimulate discussion on these topics, including recounting how Amnesty International came to its conclusion that genocide is happening in Gaza. His talk is a first step in dialogue within North Pacific Yearly Meeting about endorsement of the eight-organization document “Quakers Discern Genocide is Occurring in Gaza and Urge Courageous Action,” which both FCNL and AFSC have signed. Paul will talk and take questions from 6:30 to 7:30 Pacific. A half hour of open discussion will follow, giving Friends from NPYM an opportunity to air their questions and concerns about the proposed Yearly Meeting action.

Palestinian Products on Sale Sunday Mornings

A group of Friends at Multnomah Meeting, led by Ralph Gilliam, will be selling imported Palestinian goods at the Meetinghouse after the 10 am worship on Sundays. The products are purchased from Palestine Imports, https://palestineimports.com/, a company based in San Francisco, owned by Ateyeh M. Ateyeh. Mr. Ateyeh is Palestinian, born in Jerusalem. He attended the Ramallah Friends School and has an affinity for Friends. Mr. Ateyeh is a staunch advocate for Palestinian human rights. We are able to buy products from Palestine Imports at a wholesale price because we have made a commitment to donate all profits from the sales of these products to the American Friends Service Committee’s Gaza Relief Fund. If there is enough interest, we can expand the products we sell. Please support these efforts to raise funds for Gaza relief.
