The Village Interfaith Council invites members of all churches in the Village to attend an ecumenical program, Gospel Without Borders.  This documentary film helps churches and participants rediscover the Bible's moral message and learn compelling stories about Christians of goodwill.  The event will be held on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. in the Lower Hall of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church.  Pastor, Father Bill Elser, welcomes all Villagers to come to the presentation.  Refreshments will be served.  The program will start with the viewing of a 31-minute film "Gospel Without Borders", followed by a panel discussion of prominent ecumenical leaders including the Most Reverend Anthony B. Taylor, Bishop of Little Rock and the Reverend Stephen J. Copley, Executive Director of Arkansas Interfaith Alliance.

Gospel Without Borders puts a human face on the issue of immigration.  It separates myth from fact, examines what the Bible says about treatment of the "stranger".  It provides information for people of faith as they continue their quest for understanding and resolution for this matter.   The documentary highlights stories in five states:  Arizona, Arkansas, North Carolina, Alabama and Iowa.  Each story has its own message, but they all come together and show that the Christian gospel is indeed without borders.  For more information about Gospel Without Borders, go to:
