The Mennonite Action Triangle is holding a public worship service demonstration to show our community that we know "God's Love Knows No Borders.” We invite you to join us.

We are using our voices, our bodies, and our consciences to speak out in this moment of uncertainty and fear. We choose, as Mennonites and Christians, to take nonviolent mass action for Palestine, for our undocumented neighbors, and for the safety of our whole communities.

We know that God’s love knows no borders. We ask: Is the immigrant, the stranger, the oppressed, the refugee, the prisoner to blame for our country’s current divisions and strife? Or is it the rich, the politicians, the emperors, those who hoard wealth and use their power for violence, coercion, and domination, who have created the divides we now struggle to traverse?

Saturdays, 7:30 pm; Sundays, 2 pm — Burning Coal Theatre Company (224 Polk St., Raleigh)

Merrily We Roll Along, written by Stephen Sondheim and George Furth, is told in reverse chronological order and depicts the story of a successful, wealthy composer by the name of Franklin Shepard. It depicts Franklin and his two old friends, Mary and Charley, with their changing relationships and lives over the course of 20 years. This play raises the question of what we are willing to sacrifice for money and notoriety, and emphasizes the importance of family and friendship.

At Transitions Lifecare Hospice Home, we like to greet each new patient with a handmade blanket as a warm and welcoming touch. It's also a lovely and meaningful thing for the family to hold onto after their loved one passes.

We prefer 32x32 inches or 48x48 inches, but will take whatever your fingers can crank out! Simplicity is preferred, but feel free to be as creative as you need to be. They do need to be machine washable.
