November 22: “They Came from Baghdad.”

November 22: “They Came from Baghdad.” Don’t you like watching fluffy snowflakes forming a beautiful white blanket around your house? Don’t you get some satisfaction from bundling up in  your down parka and warm, felt-lined boots, knowing you’ll stay warm as you go about your  business or recreation? I know I do!

We’d like to tell you about how the twenty or so Iraqi refugee families in Lowell, whom our  congregation has so generously been helping to support, are doing. What are their fears, their  priorities, their hopes?
Come to hear and discuss what we are doing to help these charming and dignified people  rebuild their lives (painstakingly), find jobs in a city with high unemployment (not so much) and keep warm (thanks in significant part to your generosity), as they learn words like frost,  snow-day, sleet, slush, black ice, wind-chill, Nor’easter and frost-bite.
Charlie Frean will be joined by Joe Pompei (Peace and Justice Group) and, we hope, one or two representatives from the Lowell Iraqi community.
