12:30 pm - Program
11:30 am - Coffee Hour

In addition there will be a Filipino musical performance by Bagwis

The Philippines is now the 4th largest recipient of US military aid, making it ever more critical that we monitor events there, especially the impact on oppressed and marginalized sectors of Philippine society.

Jessica spent 15 months in the Philippines integrating with people’s organizations in the workers, peasants, indigenous peoples, farm works and youth and student sectors. She is a member of the Philippines Solidarity Committee and the Committee on Filipino issues Chicago. Jessica worked closely with the ecumenical movement on its peace and human rights advocacy campaigns and attended the International Ecumenical Conference on Terrorism in a Globalized World. She worked with the United Methodist Church, National Council of Churches in the Philippines and the Archdiocese of Bacolod.

Incorporating historical background and personal experience, she will focus her sharing on the US War on Terrorism in the Philippines and the international movement to build genuine peace based on economic and social justice.

The program will begin promptly at 12:30 pm Churchgoers are encouraged to worship at Wellington at 10:30am.

Parking is limited. Please carpool or take public transportation (Brown Line to Wellington, or Broadway bus). Paid parking is available at the Illinois Masonic Hospital East Garage (just north of Wellington on Dayton) and West Garage (on Wellington east of the El).
