KNOW YOUR RIGHTS:  
Online Workshop / Thursday, February 6
6 to 7:15 pm
 
The Seacoast Interfaith Sanctuary Coalition is hosting a number of in-person, hybrid and online-only events in the coming weeks to support immigrants and allies in the Seacoast area as we respond to the escalating threats of detention and deportation of our community members. Please join us for an online “Know your Rights” program on Thursday, February 6 at 6 PM to 7:15 PM. Presenters are Katherine Harake, Regional Campaign Manager for ACLU-NH, and Maggie Fogarty, NH Program Director for AFSC. We will share how to respond to ICE in various settings include at home, while driving, at school and other ‘sensitive locations.’ All are welcome. Register here to receive the Zoom link. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
In the meantime, we recommend this KYR resource shared by ACLU-NH.
For more information, or to be added to the contact list for future events, contact Maggie Fogarty, mfogarty@afsc.org.
 
 
Blessings and Peace!
 
If you’ve found the site today, I imagine that you’re curious about spiritual community–and what it offers us, here and now, in today’s world of wonder and uncertainty.
 
Look around.  Explore our values, our vision, our programs.  And know that your curiosity itself is a God-gift: a gift to be treasured, pursued and enjoyed.  Maybe your new to Durham, UNH or the Seacoast itself.  Check out out a service, a program, a class we’re offering. See if your spirit’s lifted in some way by the community of friends you find here.
 
The best way to know what we believe is to see how we do what we do! Church isn’t just a building: it’s a movement.  As the Community Church of Durham, we’re creating a movement of many generations, many voices and many gifted souls.  It’s a lot of fun, it’s a circle of wonder; and it’s a movement for the blessing of all life.
 
If you’ve got any questions, I’m always eager to talk!  Wherever you are on life’s journey, you’re welcome among us at the Community Church.
