This Week

Each year at the house, we celebrate All Saints Day, or the Day of the Dead, throughout the month of November. In our prayers and on a board at the house, we remember the names of all of those who have gone before us–our loved ones, mentors, friends, heroes and heroines, and others. If you are at the house this week, we invite you to add on the board in the dining room or the book in the entry way the names of anyone you would like us to remember this month.

6-7:30pm: Roundtable and Potluck Dinner – This week we will be having a very special Roundtable discussion. The topic is “Women in Islam,” and the prestigious & wonderful ladies of Islam on Campus (IOC) will be joining us for the discussion. This Roundtable will be ONLY OPEN TO WOMEN this week. It presents the opportunity for women across faith traditions to have a frank and open discussion, an interfaith dialogue, build new, cross-cultural friendships and gain a deeper understanding & appreciation of one another’s religious & spiritual beliefs, practices, and worldviews. Bring a dish to share if you can!

3:30-7pm: Saturday football game – UF-South Carolina game at 3:30pm. JustFaith from Gainesville will again be providing snacks and beverages for football fans at the house this weekend! We host friends who might not have anywhere else to enjoy a Saturday game on television or who are looking for company for the game at the Blue House. (Our anti-consumerist practice of moderation means only one game each Saturday though.)
