UPDATE: F.I.R.E. has postponed the dinner due to scheduling conflicts. They are working on securing a new date.

F.I.R.E. (Fostering Interfaith Relationships on the Eastside) invites the public to the ninth in a series of Dinner Dialogues aimed at fostering interfaith relationships, from 5-8 p.m. Sunday at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, 10021 N.E. 124th St. in Kirkland (at the corner of 100th Avenue Northeast).

Sunday’s dialogue will be on the topic “Refugees, Asylum Seekers & Immigrants.” It is a continuation of the discussion started at the Jan. 29 Dinner Dialogue, with a facilitated discussion focused on specific things people can do as individuals and as a community to help refugees, asylum seekers and immigrants feel more welcomed in the community and have their needs met. Speakers include individuals who have experienced these challenges and those who serve immigrants and refugees. Interfaith discussions are encouraged among all participants.

This is a potluck dinner, so attendees are asked to bring their favorite dishes to share, labeled showing the ingredients to help people with food allergies and preferences make choices.

Everyone is invited to come and enjoy a fun evening of interfaith dialogue. It is not necesessary to have attended the January dinner; it’s not necessary to be affiliated with any faith or faith community to participate, either. Those interested in attending should email rsvp@fire-wa.org and let organizers know how many will be coming so they can be sure to set up enough tables and chairs.
