The Race and Faith Narrative groups are a space to share, hear, and process our race and faith journeys. The groups will be small (four people max in each group) and will be meeting for four weeknights in June at various places in Pasadena.

Format: Each week, one group member will share their life story through the lens of race and faith. Other group members will hold space for the sharer in prayerful and attentive listening. After sharing, the group will have an opportunity to respond by offering anything they may have received from God or from their own listening to the story.

Missio sponsors Science and Faith events 2-3 times per year on the Caltech campus, and the event includes a free dinner (for members of the Caltech community), a talk , and time for Q&A and dialog about the topic.

Pythagoras taught in 500BC what science now affirms: that the hidden order of the universe can be expressed through mathematics. Why is the universe intelligible to us in this way?

Our conversation will start with a talk from Dr. Alexey Burov, a physicist at the Fermi National Laboratory in Chicago, where he is employed as Senior Scientist. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society, and the organizer and chair of Fermi Society of Philosophy.

We have been invited to serve at Centennial on the day before Thanksgiving. Union Station is hosting a Thanksgiving meal for the residents and we will come alongside them to serve and to spend time with the residents. This is a GREAT opportunity. The residents really miss having an actual meal together, and we have the chance to support this. We will also share a 15-20 minute Thanksgiving liturgy with a gratitude activity to do around the tables.

Since we’ll be helping with this event before Thanksgiving, we will NOT have our regularly scheduled dessert club, which would have been the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

If you would like to be part of this event, email amy@missiocc.org or use this link to RSVP:
