The Palestine Exception is a searing and unflinchingly honest account of what it means to stand for something, and the immense consequences of speaking up. This is a vital documentary for our present moment, but also a terrifying look at how institutional power has always tried – and will always try – to enforce silence on every last one of its critics. – Omar El Akkad, Novelist and Journalist, author of “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This”
Join us to view this documentary, followed by a Q&A with film producer Marlene Eid. Visit https://palestineexceptionfilm.com/ for more information on the film. Donations welcome. Sponsored by the Holy Land Ministry at Spirit of Grace, and Friends of Sabeel-Portland Metro Chapter.

Those who find the holiday season difficult are welcome to join Intern Pax for a Tidings of Comfort service. Whether you are grieving the loss of a loved one, mourning the suffering in the world, or simply needing space for sadness in a season that often rushes toward superficial joy, you are welcome. There will be no expectation to share personal grief aloud. Participants may choose to write down who or what they are grieving and place it in a basket; after the service, each person may draw a note to carry with them in prayer—a reminder that we do not carry these burdens alone. An informal gathering with hot apple cider (and possibly cookies) will follow.

This lay-led service will examine the issue of food insecurity, focusing on the work of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church pantry and the Oregon Food Bank. Our Last Sunday second offering will go to St. Matthew's food pantry.

We will also acknowledge the beginning of Advent.
