World Religions: Finding Common Ground
The sponsoring churches are planning an exciting retreat that will provide opportunities for spiritual renewal, fellowship, singing, and gaining knowledge of other faiths about their traditions.  Come join us for a weekend at Camp Mo-Val. Invite others by posting this flier at your church.

Program
It is our hope that through learning and sharing we will be inspired to reach out to all faiths with open hearts and minds. According to the Interfaith Partnership, it is through the sharing of different faith traditions that relationships and connections are made.  By finding common ground we aspire to "...promote peace, respect and understanding among people of all faiths."  Our panelists will be sharing the precepts of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism.

Planned Activities
Worship, fellowship activities including crafts, Bible study, shopping at our nonprofit booths, a service project, hayrides, campfires, sing-a-llongs, and time to get to know all your sisters of faith.

Our Presenters
Beth Damsgaard-Rodriguez, Executive Director, Faith Beyond Walls/Interfaith Partnership, Member of Pilgrim UCC, St. Louis
Nancy Remmert, Past Cabinet Member, Interfaith Partnership, Member of Immanual UCC, Ferguson

Musicians
