SUMMARY:Young People's Study: The Faith of Jesus
DESCRIPTION:A study with Pastor Gene for young people in grades 6-12. Meet in room 104. \nJesus was Jewish. How do we know this? Why is it important? What does it mean for those of us who call ourselves his followers? \nPastor Gene McAfee will lead two sessions with our young people to investigate the Jewishness of Jesus and why that matters for Christians. We will begin with the evidence from the Bible and trace the historical paths that led to what one scholar has called “the reluctant parting” of Christianity from Judaism. We’ll learn about the “Judaisms” of Jesus’ day and some of the practices associated with them. By understanding Jesus’ faith better\, we may come to understand our own faith better as well. As Philip said to Nathanael\, “Come and see!” (John 1:46)

SUMMARY:Being Sanctuary People: How Faith-Based Communities Can Respond to the Needs of Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:The FHC Immigration Task Force is offering a timely program of urgent importance\, “Being Sanctuary People” for those interested in the well-being of immigrants and eager to be engaged on their behalf. On Sunday\, March 9\, Dr. Gina Pérez\, will speak at Forest Hill Church about her latest book Sanctuary People: Faith-Based Organizing in Latino/a Communities. The event includes a meal at 12:15 p.m. followed by the presentation. \nIf you’d like to attend\, please register by March 5 at this link: \nRegister \nDr. Pérez is a Cultural Anthropologist\, Professor and Chair of the Department of Comparative American Studies at Oberlin College. As an author of several books\, she describes herself as a scholar\, and person of faith. Her latest book\, Sanctuary People has heightened relevance considering the oppressive policies of the Trump administration toward immigrants. \nSanctuary People examines the role that faith communities in Ohio have played in the development\, proliferation\, and strengthening of sanctuary practices and other forms of organizing connected to Latina/o communities and Latin American migrants. By focusing on efforts to help those affected by immigrant detention and Puerto Ricans displaced in the wake of Hurricane María\, Dr. Pérez reveals the ways faith communities\, activists\, and community leaders are creating new strategies to address the increasingly precarious contexts in which Latina/o people live\, and how they are imagining and enacting new forms of solidarity. The story of Leonor Garcia and Forest Hill Church is portrayed in the book as an example. \nDr. Pérez will inform us about the distinct alliances\, relationships\, and ways of knowing and being that faith-based activists have employed to create places of safety. The role of faith-based organizing in these communities contributes to what Puerto Rican journalist Maria Mari-Narváez describes as the need to “build a more horizontal society\, a place for everyone to live and work and love in.”
