From press release
Jim Winkler, general secretary of the United Methodist’s Board of Church & Society with offices on Capitol Hill and in the United Nations, will speak at a luncheon, “Why We Love War and Hate Peace,” at Court Street United Methodist Church, 215 N. Court St., Rockford, Sunday, Dec. 27.
Lunch ($15 for reservations) begins at 12:30 p.m., and the program (free and open to the public) begins at 1:30 p.m.
