FriendShip Group Visit the Carlos Museum's Compassion Exhibit
Wednesday, June 3, 11am
Join with the FriendShip Group Older Adult Ministry to visit the Carlos Museum's new exhibition on Compassion: What Moves You? The experience invites visitors to explore what motivates us, moves us, and gives us purpose; how we find empathy and resonance in one another through our shared humanity and diversity; how and why we sometimes fail to be moved, fail to find common purpose, and neglect to protect or help others in need; and what we can do to address that. $8/senior rate or free with Emory ID. We'll meet at the Glenn Church amphitheater at 10:45am to walk over together. RSVP with Rev. Susan Pinson spinson@glennumc.org, 404-634-3936, ext. 103.
