A two-day gathering in Fresno again will present ways that the faith community can see itself -- and the city -- in new ways to help others.

The fifth incarnation of City Summit will be held from 6-9 p.m. Friday and 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday at Christian Temple Church, 535 N. Cedar Ave.

The event is designed to rally the community to look for the spirit of God to ignite people across the city, joining with vulnerable people in neighborhoods with few resources and building sustainable solutions together.

This year's event features John Perkins, an author and national speaker on racial reconciliation and Christian community development. Faith leaders call Perkins a combination of Billy Graham and Martin Luther King Jr. Perkins' most recent books are "Let Justice Roll Down" and "With Justice for All: A Strategy for Community Development."

The Fresno event is co-sponsored by the Center for Community Transformation at Fresno Pacific University.

Cost is $40 for general admission or $20 for students in advance and $50 for general admission or $30 for students at the event.

Last dance for Sacred Heart School

A Sacred Heart School dinner/dance -- reflecting on the end of the school after 64 years -- will be held March 16 at The Shrine of St. Therese Catholic Church hall, 855 E. Floradora Ave.

In January, the Office of Catholic Education announced that Sacred Heart School in east-central Fresno will close at the end of this school year. Sacred Heart School had low enrollments because of the economic downturn.

Event organizers are encouraging people at the dinner/dance to share their memories and friendships through Sacred Heart School.

The event begins with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m. and dancing to a DJ at 8:30 p.m. There also will be a silent auction.

Cost is $25 for adults only.
