“Who is My Neighbor?”
Dinner and Discussion Kickoff

You are invited to come and be a part of the first of our exciting new mission initiatives this year. On Monday, February 13, a “Dinner and Discussion” will be held in Whitford Hall to kick off our mission theme. There will be a free dinner and panel discussion on “Platitudes vs. Presence: Learning to Be With,” featuring Ann Smith, Stephen Ministry Leader and Dr. Kate Bowler, Assistant Professor at Duke Divinity School. After the panel there will be time for people to discuss the topic together.

This is the first of a series of discussions that will take place throughout the year as part of our 2012 mission theme: “Who is My Neighbor? Listening, Learning, and Living with Our City”. The goal of these discussions is to get to know our city better. We want to learn more about the people, the places, the resources, the needs, the pain, and the hope of Durham. This is fundamental to our Christian witness; in the same way that God became flesh in Jesus to dwell with us, we are hoping that by listening, learning, and living with our neighbors, we will “become flesh” to our city. For more information about our mission theme and the activities we’ll be doing, visit the Duke Memorial Mission Blog.

The Dinner and Discussion will be from 6-8pm. CHILDCARE IS PROVIDED. Click here to RSVP
