Updates and opportunities to join in our social witness and community service activities:
Illinois Yearly Meeting (ILYM)
Sun 1/15: Illinois Yearly Meeting Anti-Racism Cafe. Online
This online discussion takes place on the 15th of each month from 7-8:30 pm.
"Are you interested in connecting with other Friends in Illinois Yearly Meeting on anti-racism work? Then join in at the Anti-Racism Café. Each month the ILYM Ad Hoc Anti-Racism Committee will provide space both for Friends who want to share ideas for anti-racist activism, and for Friends who want to focus on the inward work of becoming anti-racist. This is an opportunity to learn about the experiences of Friends in other meetings, to share resources, and to come together in worship and fellowship to build a wider Quaker community."

Fri 1/20: Soup & Rice
Based on the idea of Soup & Bread community meals, JASC is hosting a series of monthly gatherings this winter. Volunteer soup makers bring a crock pot of their favorite soup to share. JASC provides rice, bowls and spoons. Soup eaters donate and all funds raised are given to a local nonprofit organization.
To volunteer to bring soup: Contact Jenn Trautvetter, 773-275-0097, ext. 228 or jtrautvetter@jasc-chicago.org. You can fill out an online form to let Jenn know what you plan to bring by clicking here.
