Registration

Greetings friends, 

On behalf of Bright Stars of Bethlehem, I invite you to join me for an important and timely presentation by the Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb. As someone like me, who has a connection with Bright Stars of Bethlehem, you know of the amazing and tireless efforts of Mitri to bring hope in challenging times. You also know that the situation in Palestine today is incredibly dire. 

I hope you will join me to hear an update from Mitri on the current conditions in Gaza and the West Bank. Mitri will share how he and his staff and students at Dar al-Kalima University are cultivating hope and bringing light to a dark time. Your presence and solidarity mean so much. 

The presentation is at Midvale Community Lutheran Church, Madison, on Sunday, September 8 at 7pm. Register here for the event. There is no cost for the event.

Copies of Mitri’s newest book, Decolonizing Palestine: The Land, The People, The Bible will be available for purchase at the event, and Mitri will do a book-signing. 

I welcome you to share this invitation with others who might be interested in attending. If you are unable to attend, and would like to support Mitri and the work of Dar al-Kalima in these critical days, you can make a donation to Bright Stars of Bethlehem here. 

Thank you for your partnership and faith in creating hope!
