A Community Gathering for Justice & Solidarity

On Thursday, April 2, we will gather for an evening of food, reflection, and witness at McGinty’s in Silver Spring.

 

This night falls during Holy Week, the week when Christians remember the final meal Jesus shared with his friends before his arrest and execution. It was a night of table fellowship, vulnerability, and fierce love in the face of state violence. We gather in that same spirit.

 

In a time when many in our community feel targeted, anxious, or unsafe, we refuse to look away. We come together to eat, to remember, and to stand with those who carry fear in their bodies.

Christ Congregational Church will provide a buffet dinner. Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase.

Please RSVP by filling out THIS FORM

We will move into a quiet, candlelit vigil. Tenebrae means “shadows.” Through readings, music, silence, and the gradual dimming of light, we will hold grief, courage, and solidarity together.

 

This is a space to breathe. To sit. To listen. To remember that no one stands alone.

McGinty’s Public House
911 Ellsworth Drive
Silver Spring, MD 20910

 

We will gather in the “Upper Room.”
The space is accessible through the Ellsworth Drive Garage Mall Entrance (enter on the 5th floor).

 

All are welcome! Please RSVP so we can plan for dinner, and invite friends, neighbors, and anyone who may need a space of courage and community right now.
