A Time Bank is a community of people who support each other. When you spend an hour to do something for an individual or group, you earn a “time credit.” Then, you can use that “time credit” to buy an hour of a neighbor’s time or engage in a group activity offered by a neighbor. It’s that simple. Yet it also has profound effects. You get to know your neighbors and friends and build an old-fashioned extended family of people who take care of each other. A Time Bank changes a whole community. Bring a dish to share and learn about the Care and Share Time Bank.

Wrestling with the Role of Faith in Activism
Whether we consider ourselves primarily rooted in faith communities or social movements, the connections between the two are easily observed, but often complicated to process and navigate our feelings about and goals for. Join local leaders (Susan K. Smith, Robert L. Caldwell Jr., Wendy Tarr and Robb Tarr) that are rooted in the bridge between faith and activism for a night of instruction, inquiry, and inspiration.
Join progressive friends for food, drink and great music.
