A true workplace exchangeI dressed up for work today, which doesn’t happen often. One of my co-workers= asked whether that was what I wore to church on Sunday. It was a logical question - I gu= ess. I said, “No, I wear jeans to church." "You're kidding, right?" "No, I'm not teasing. A person could come in cutoffs and be equally welcome at my church, although some of the older set might not like it very much." "Sounds like a good church." Whoever you are, however y=
ou
dress, you're welcome here at Encounter the World of IslamUnderstand Islam, foster positive relationships between M= uslims and Christians, and gain a broad Christian perspective on today's world. A twelve lesson course, "Encountering the World of Islam," will be offered at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church, Glenwood Facility, Glenwood Av= e. at San Antonio Ave., Tuesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., September 1= 2 to November 28.

weather turns wet and cold, so we’ve cancelled Saturday’s
gathering due to low response. Please ![3D""](3D"0818_files/image011.gif")
