Williamstown Church Hosts Post-Election Meeting November 5
10:45AM / Thursday, October 30, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass - The First Congregational Church, Williamstown, is sponsoring a post-election meeting on Wednesday, November 5th, from 7-8:30 p.m. in the church sanctuary. The broad purpose of the meeting is to encourage discussion of how this historic Presidential election will influence people's ongoing lives.
Specifically, participants will be considering what values the election reflects and refutes for each of them personally and how they might live their lives so as to reinforce the values they associate with being American – and being good people.
While the discussion will undoubtedly be lively and engaging, the ultimate purpose of this meeting is to provide time and space for individuals to contemplate ways to make their own values concrete in their everyday actions and to get continuing support in the difficult work of living their values boldly.
The meeting will be moderated by Stewart Burns, Director of the Center for Community Engagement at Williams College. It is free and open to the public. People of all political persuasions are welcome. Childcare will be provided at the church.
The First Congregational Church is located at 906 Main Street (Rt. 2) in Williamstown, and is fully handicap accessible. For more information call 413-458-4273 or e-mail office@firstchurchwilliamstown.org
