Fundraiser for Parktown Food Hub at City Barbeque
The Parktown Food Hub is holding a fundraiser on Thursday, October 3 at City BBQ on Highway 54. Print a flyer, show it to the cashier, and the food hub will get 25% of your purchase price. It’s delicious, and in feeding yourself and your family and friends you are also helping to feed your neighbors.
That same evening the Parktown Food Hub will be hosting Charisa Knight, an energetic and delightful speaker who will be talking about how the community she felt as a child (including interaction with a food pantry) led her to where she is today, leading a nonprofit that supports an orphanage in Ethiopia. The world is her neighborhood and she is well-versed in being neighbors all over the world! Charisa’s talk will be at 7 pm in the PUMC sanctuary, so go eat some good barbecue and then head over to the church for a good time!

Community Fellowship Opportunities with South Durham Connections
South Durham Connections (SoDuCo) is sharing four fun events! Come find a place to connect with others and belong to a community of your neighbors:
International Movie Night
Come watch a specially-curated international film and stay afterwards to talk with the others who are present about how that film resonates with the world today. Free snacks! Thank you to Peace Covenant Church of the Brethren for offering their space (and movie, and awesome membership) to the South Durham Community! The building is located at Peace Covenant Church of the Brethren 601 E NC Highway 54, Durham (just East of the I-40 overpass on Highway 54 – look for the YOU ARE WELCOME signs). Film starts at 7 pm on Friday, May 17.
Neighborhood Block Party
Food trucks! Neighbors! Discussion! Games! Bring a canned good to share with hungry people in Durham. The party is on the property of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 1200 West Cornwallis Road, Durham (at the corner of Pickett and Cornwallis). The fun happens from 11 am to 2 pm on Saturday, May 18.
Spring Carnival
Music! Games! Food! Fun! Neighbors! Church of the Abiding Savior at 1625 South Alston Avenue, Durham (across Hwy 55 from NC Central Law School and across Alston from the Burger King). A little further south, and another chance to hang out with people who are happy to be there. The carnival is from 1:30-5:20 pm on Sunday, May 19.
And if you can’t make the carnival (or even if you can!), come join us for
Art and Spirit
Refresh yourself before heading back to the work week. Bring your own arts and crafts (drawing, coloring, knitting, crochet, whittling, whatever you like!) or do the weaving project that we will have available. Creativity is relaxing, and creating alongside others can be invigorating fun. Art and Spirit will be held at Parkwood UMC, 5123 Revere Road, Durham in Room 4.

Kidpower South Durham Parent/Child Workshop
In the workshop adults and their children learn and practice age-appropriate everyday People Safety skills, including: walking with awareness, on-line safety, keeping themselves safe from hurtful words, learning to set boundaries on touch and teasing and how to get help from busy adults. We introduce skills using stories and activities relevant to the children’s ages and life situations, then coach adults and kids to practice together. This workshop helps answer the question, “How can we teach our children to be safe without scaring them?” in a fun, age-appropriate, experiential way. In this class, adults are active participants with their child and are expected to stay with their child the entire class. All adults in the children’s lives are encouraged to attend.
Date of Class: June 16th, 2018
10:30-noon (3-6 year olds)
12:30-2:30 (7-12 year olds)
