QCI's 2012 public meeting will be held Thursday, October 25th 6:30-8:00 pm at Sacred Heart Cathedral Parish Center - 422 E.10th St. Davenport, IA. The theme this year is Fire of Faith- rekindling our congregation, our economy, our democracy. Local congregations will be gathering to discuss local issues, to plan, and develop strategies on ways to work together to rejuvenate our congregations. This Fire of Faith campaign is our strategic vision and plan for the next three years- a fresh way to look at faith-based community organizing. Congregations have always been the backbone of Gamaliel and QCI. We recognize the central place of faith in all religions. We will use the skills of community organizing to build our congregations in membership, in public presence and in financial strength. When our congregations are strong, QCI is strong and our work for Justice is strong. We invite your congregations to find out more about this campaign and join us for this exciting campaign.
