The City of St. Petersburg is, again attempting to pass ordinances that violate the human, economic, and civil rights of citizens of St. Petersburg. You would think that after being sued in Federal court by homeless citizens, that the city would come to it’s senses and not abuse it’s power, but no, they are relentess in continuing to make the city unfriendly to anyone who is not a developer or rich and powerful. Essentially, they are attempting 3 things: force spiritual practioners of any religion that are not licensed to be licensed and forced to pay fees, forcing community gardens to be licensed and permitted, and “peddlers” to be licensed, background checked/fingerprinted, and forced to pay fees. This last ordinance effects the homeless again by forcing street musicians and those that sell the newspapers on Sunday to pay fees and be background checked. Of course, Politicians and their supporters who flyer and hold up signs are exempt. This would also effect political protest, as well. We should be incensed by all this!! Please come to city council at city hall this Thursday at 830am at 5th street and 2nd ave south in St. Pete and let your voice be heard. For more info please call me at 727 278 1547 or bgcwright@aol.com. Thanks, Bruce
The Refuge is starting up a weekly bible study starting June 1. We will not be searching the scriptures for meaning or direction as much as we will be reading prayerfully with no particular purpose. We understand that no text interprets itself. Rather, the reader brings along all of their experience and bias. In the same way, we pray that the Spirit reads our hearts as we encounter him in prayer. There is no telling where he will lead us from there…
Please check back often for more info per times and location.
We are very much looking forward to the new album by mewithoutYou.
It drops May 19.
Listen to a new song here.
