JOIN
Or DIE

A film about why you should join a club ...and why the fate of America depends on it.
As we remember the 250th birthday of the United States of America, what can we do to strengthen our democracy?
Find out why it is important to join a club, start a group, or die.
Join us for inspiration and community building the first Wednesday of each month at Faith Mennonite Church, 2720 E. 22nd Street, Minneapolis, MN 55406 for a film that prompts us to consider and ponder the following queries:
1. What did we learn from this film?
2. Why is it important?
3. What are we going to do differently now that we've learned these important lessons from this film?
Please invite your friends, neighbors, and family, and enter the church's lower-level Fellowship Hall via the 28th Avenue door. If you have mobility needs, please contact [email protected] and she will arrange access via the elevator to the lower level.

THE DOCTRINE - DOCUMENTARY SCREENING AND Q&A - JUNE 17 AT RIVERVIEW THEATER, 6:30-9PM
The Doctrine explores the legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery on driving violence against Indigenous Peoples, land, and water in the Americas and around the world. The central narrative follows a group of Indigenous youth from the Twin Cities who travel to the Vatican to confront the Catholic Church about the Doctrine and its legacy. The film exposes how the Doctrine of Discovery has targeted communities of color around the world for centuries, and still today enables corporate forces driving the climate crisis. Co-sponsors include: the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery, Creekside UCC, the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition, Headwaters Foundation for Justice, and more.
Doors 6:30pm | Screening 7pm | Q&A discussion to follow.

We both grieve Dick's loss and celebrate Dick's life and many gifts shared with our congregation and the neighborhood over decades, and extend our prayers for Sandra and the Westby family. Neighbors have begun a flower memorial on the bench in front of the Westby house that anyone may contribute to.

Thank you to all who donated to Faith Mennonite Church to help with families affected by the situation with immigrants and ICE
here in the Twin Cities these past few months.

Because of your donations we were able to help with rental assistance for several families who were known to the congregation, as well as giving donations to local groups supporting rental assistance. We also donated to two groups that
are helping with food assistance to families. To date we have dispersed over $12,000 in funds, and have received just under
$13,000 in donations.
