Faith & Politics: Called to Be a Voice for the Common Good
As our nation continues to celebrate its 250th anniversary, we may take advantage of the opportunity to reflect upon the state of our country. While there is always a mix of strengths and weaknesses within our governing structures, one collective challenge we face in modern times is robust citizen participation for the common good. Some can be deterred from civic actions, believing that all politics are broken or ineffective. For people of faith, there may be the belief that faith and politics should never mix.
Join us for this prayer service to explore the meaning of “politics,” and, from a variety of faith perspectives, the vital and necessary connection between faith and our actions in the world; how faith calls us to be a voice for the common good.
A free-will donation is appreciated. Walk-ins are welcome, but RSVPs are encouraged; please RSVP online at shalomretreats.org or by calling 563.582.3592 by Monday, October 19.

Rotary Club of Dubuque World Polio Day Walk
The Rotary Club of Dubuque will bring an international effort to end polio to the local community on October 24, with a World Polio Day Walk & Art Auction at the UD. Rotary has been at the forefront of the global effort to eradicate polio for more than four decades & has helped immunize 3 billion children worldwide.
The event is to raise funds for Rotary’s PolioPlus Fund, but also to help people understand a disease many Americans have heard of but may know little about today. Educational displays along the walk will share the history and impact of polio, while polio survivors participating in the event will bring a personal perspective to that history and help tell the story of a disease that affected generations.
The event will also feature a silent auction launching the week prior to the event and a live auction after the walk. The collection includes artwork donated to the Rotary Club of Dubuque by long-time Rotarian & Polio survivor Jon Luckstead, with proceeds going directly to Rotary’s PolioPlus Fund.
The Rotary Club of Dubuque invites the community to walk, learn and help move the world one step closer to a future without polio. For more information on how to sign up for the walk, visit our website www.dubuquerotary.org/events/world-polio-walk-and-auction/
