GAZA IN OUR HEARTS

Please join a special evening of culture and prayer in support of Health Outreach to the Middle East (HOME) and their efforts in Gaza.

Saturday, January 31, 2009 7:00pm - 8:30pm
4605 Massachusetts Ave NW
Washington, DC

This will be an evening of Palestinian songs, music and poetry as we honor and pray for the Palestinians in Gaza. There will also be a message of peace and hope from Pastor Esper Ajaj.

Featuring:
Fuad Forty-DC's most well known lute player and Arabic vocalist.
Remi Kanazi-NYC based poet, activist, and editor of "Poets for Palestine".
Other special guests to be announced.

The mission of HOME is to provide high quality health care services to communities all over the Middle East. This month, they are working with the American Bible Society in Jerusalem to provide monetary, medical, and other services to support the people of Gaza. Afterwards, a coffee hour and Arabic sweets as you mingle with friends and make new ones.

There is also a 5pm prayer vigil for those that would like to attend. This will take place outside of the church. We will be remembering those that have lost their lives and continue to suffer in Gaza. Feel free to attend both events or the portion that you choose.
