One Community One Book 2019 discussion: The Far Away Brothers by Lauren Markham
<p>Bring your lunch and join ICPL staff to discuss the 2019 One Community One Book selection "The far away brothers: two young migrants and the making of an American life" by Lauren Markham.</p><p>The Faraway Brothers, tells the story of identical twin brothers who are forced to leave their home in El Salvador under the brutal conditions of war and violence. They make their way to Oakland, California where they have to adjust to their new lives.Markham’s storytelling captures rich and nuanced insight into the migrant experience. Of the book, The New York Times’ Jennifer Senior writes, “The Far Away Brothers is impeccably timed, intimately reported and beautifully expressed. Markham brings people and places to rumbling life; she has that rare ability to recreate elusive, subjective experiences...without taking undue liberties.”</p><p>This event is sponsored by the Iowa City Public Library and the UI Center for Human Rights</p> 2019-10-03 13:00:00 -0500

Cornell College Theatre Production: The Spitfire Grill
<p dir="ltr">By Fred Alley, James Valcq, and Lee David Zlotoff; directed by Caroline Price. A feisty parolee follows her dreams, based on a page from an old travel book, to a small town in Wisconsin and finds a place for herself working at Hannah's Spitfire Grill. It is for sale but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggests to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins. Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and things are definitely cookin' at the Spitfire Grill.</p><p dir="ltr">From the New York Times: "A soul satisfying … work of theatrical resourcefulness. A compelling story that flows with grace and carries the rush of anticipation. The story moves, the characters have many dimensions and their transformations are plausible and moving. The musical is freeing. It is penetrated by honesty and it glows." </p>

JUST CHURCH
<p><strong>About JustChurch</strong></p><p>JustChurch is a weekly, Saturday evening, downtown worshiping community in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids corridor. JustChurch is “just” in two ways:</p><ul><li><br><ul><li>Just a worshipping community</li><li>Participates in acts of JUSTice that flow from worship</li></ul></li></ul><p>JustChurch is intentionally focused on worship steeped in ancient Christian tradition expressed in new, simple ways, without building ownership, standing committees, etc. JustChurch is a refuge to those who seek to express faith for good in a community of inclusion and who feel left out of current institutional religion. Since JustChurch wants money to do the most good it can do, it strives to be an 80/20 worshipping community (dedicating 80% of its income for maximal impact on justice while using 20% to cover intentionally low operating costs).</p> 2019-10-19 18:00:00 -0500

Men's Breakfast
<p>Sprechen Sie Deutsch? (Do you speak German?)<br><br>Even if you don't speak German, you are invited to our upcoming Men's Breakfast on Saturday, October 19, in The Bridge from 7:30 - 9:30 AM. <br><br>This breakfast will be a "German Edition" because our speakers are coming from our partnership church in Chemnitz, Germany. Bernard Millard serves as the pastor and Josua Schulze works at the church with the main task of leading their church planting project call "The Blessing."<br><br>They will be sharing (in English) about their ministry, and how they're helping men in Chemnitz take their next step with Jesus. <br><br>Our partnership began in Eastern Germany in 2006, with the goal to support and learn from each other as we seek to accomplish the work that God has for us to do. It has been a great encouragement to both churches. <br><br>If you've been to one of our breakfasts before, you know we enjoy a hearty warm meal. This time will be no exception, as we enjoy some delicious breakfast burritos. There's no charge, but donations are accepted. <br><br>Please be thinking of a friend or co-worker you could invite to come with you. <br><br>We hope to see you there! Auf Wiedersehen!</p> 2019-09-20 09:30:00 -0500
