The Table
September 16- What Notes Float Your Boat? Connecting Through Music
Music often accompanies us through life's most meaningful moments. A song can bring comfort during difficult times, mark an important season of life, express emotions we struggle to put into words, or simply remind us that we are not alone.
Join us for an evening of listening, reflection, and conversation as we explore the music that has shaped, sustained, challenged, and inspired us. This program is facilitated by Pullen member and licensed therapist, Kristy Bastone, who finds value in the power of music to support mental health. Together, we will listen to songs submitted by members of our community and reflect on what resonates. Along the way, we may also discover new artists, genres, and perspectives while learning more about one another through the music we share.

September 23 - Pullen Profiles: A Night at the Movies in Pittsburgh
Pullen member Jim Kastner grew up loving the movie theater and worked in a movie theater as a teen growing up in Pittsburgh, PA. It began a lifelong love of Pittsburgh's theaters which eventually became a book on their history. Jim will share about his love for the movies, how it shaped him and why this passion has followed him throughout his life.

September 30 - Doing Justice in an Election Year
At Pullen, we are doing what we can to uphold justice in the upcoming elections. This week, we will hear more about the efforts of Pullen Friends of Democracy and how we're teaming up with other congregations to promote free and fair elections. This discussion will be led by members of Pullen Friends of Democracy and Rev. Lisa Garcia-Sampson who helps coordinate the efforts of multiple congregations through Blueprint NC's Faith Table. We'll learn what we can do to be informed, secure our vote, and help our friends and neighbors do the same.
