Celebrating Life--Lessons on Being Mortal
Saturday, October 7, 9:30 AM-2:00 PM in the WRPC Fellowship Hall
Coffee/breakfast items will be available and lunch will be served.
Congregational Care, Christian Formation and Stephen Ministry are partnering with Transitions LifeCare [formerly known as Hospice of Wake County] to bring to WRPC a screening of the PBS Frontline documentary called “Being Mortal.” Based on the best-selling book by Dr. Atul Gawande, this film explores the things that really matter to patients and their families who are facing terminal illness, their relationships with their medical team, and the family members who care for them.
It's Not [Just] Personal: The Invention of Whiteness and Racism
October 15, 2:30pm - 4:30pm in the WRPC Fellowship Hall
West Raleigh Presbyterian Church is co-hosting with the Biblical Justice Forum at Western Boulevard Presbyterian Church a free workshop facilitated by Triangle Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ). The workshop is for anyone interested in learning more about the ways in which racism operates in our society today and how we can work against it. We'll discuss how people in power have historically and at the present used racism to divide and conquer us, the power of multi-racial coalitions who have worked and are working together in spite of these efforts, and the role each of us can play in the current movement against racism.

A perennial question for people of faith is whether or not – and, since the rise of modern science, how – God can act in the world. It is connected to miracles, the efficacy of prayer and more generally how to believe in providence, grace, inspiration, and even the most basic concept of God. Are these ideas even worth considering when science so masterfully describes the natural order of things?
