First, a Welcome from Tom Brown. 

This is our regular monthly Forum and will feature an informative and perhaps provocative topic, "The Pakistan we barely knew." Jason Philbrick will briefly examine folk practices in Pakistan. You are almost guaranteed to learn something new about the people and country of Pakistan, a place we once called or still call "home."  There will be Q&A discussion hosted by Richard Bailey.

[After there will be a 30-minute BREAK, or you can stay online and VISIT.]

This fun and interactive session will feature David Addleton, Tim Meadowcroft, Mikaere Greenslade, Peter McMillan, Jason Philbrick, Tom Brown, Susie Pietsch, and others sharing from their recent return trips to Pakistan. David Addleton will share his trip with his wife -- they visited Pakistan from top to bottom -- from the Chinese border and Northern Areas TO Karachi and the Indian Ocean. Each participant had a different reason for making their pilgrimage-like-trip. There will be time for questions. Perhaps others will be inspired to visit Pakistan.

Visit Group 2 will be hosted by Marilyn Brown Gardner and others. The broad theme: Whether you grew up in Pakistan or worked there as an adult, what do you think it is that connects you to the place and to the tribe of expats who lived there? What memories and stories are significant for you?

P.S. What drew a bunch of MCS classmates to reunite in Pakistan 50 years later?

Pakistan MK Peter McMillan preached on the "Armor of God," in the former MCS chapel, for the Sunday Service during our April visit to Murree. We will share the recording on Zoom (to view together) and/or send a link* so you can view it on your own. It includes the sermon led by Peter, scripture reading by Joel DeHart and Ellie Duncan, and benediction by Graham Duncan.

Gather for service, memorials, and visit.
