SUMMARY:41st Annual Francis Day
DESCRIPTION:AGAPE REOPENS\n41st ANNUAL FRANCIS DAY\nSAT. OCT. 7\, 10 AM – 4 PM \nThemes include building small\, faith communities\, with nonviolence\, and contemplation in our wounded world.  As always\, we will pray together and play music together. \nWe feel enlivened and ready to return to our Agape’s commitment to ecological sustainable stewardship in a world that continues to be torn by war. Relentless bombing in Ukraine pulls in the US\, government’s support of our “ally” with weapons and financial support at $44 billion and counting. \nOur planet staggers with the ravages of the climate crisis and month’s-long heat of 100 degrees and over.  American South and Southwest are becoming unlivable in the deep summer months.
