SUMMARY:Bright Stars of Bethlehem Annual Gala
DESCRIPTION:The Minneapolis Area Synod community can help support change for our Palestinian siblings by joining Bright Stars of Bethlehem for the Hope Abounds 6th Annual Virtual Fundraising Gala on Saturday\, September 13. Attendees will be taken on a virtual trip to Palestine by sharing student stories\, hearing from featured guest Rick Steves\, and getting updates from the University President\, Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb. \nWatch Parties across the country are engaging congregations and friends as we strive to raise awareness and support for Dar al-Kalima University in Bethlehem. Although the Gaza campus was destroyed early in the war\, students there and in Bethlehem are pursuing their education despite unimaginable challenges. \nThe Watch Party taking place in the Minneapolis Area Synod is at Edina Community Lutheran Church\, 4113 W. 54th Street\, Edina\, and is hosted by the Bright Stars of Bethlehem – Minnesota team.  \nDoors open at 6:00 p.m. for Palestinian appetizers\, a short film by a DAK student\, and conversation.\nThe virtual gala will take place 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. \nRSVP to Kathy Showalter Fiscus at kshowalter@planscapepartners.com or 612-599-4593 by Wednesday\, Sept. 10. \nSee the event flyer > \n  \nIndividuals can also participate in the virtual Gala from home by registering with Bright Stars online at brightstarsbethlehem.org/gala.
