After a brief one Sunday break from the
Love Without Limits series we will begin a new series on Sunday, March 5th, the first Sunday in Lent,
Loving All Our Neighbors Without Limits. During the 6 weeks of the Lenten season, we will be using a curriculum, provided by Family Promise, called
Just Neighbors.
Below is an outline of the series:
Session 1) Who Is My Neighbor?
Annie Heart from Family Promise of Washington County will lead the discussion as we explore the obstacles that families living in poverty face each day.
Session 2) Does Working Work?
We’ll look at the changing trends in employment and wages that have led to an increased number of ‘working poor.’
Session 3) Housing Matters
We’ll examine the nation’s housing crisis and commonly held myths about housing.
Session 4) Prejudice, Privilege and Poverty
Hearkening back to our previous conversations on race (
America’s Original Sin), we’ll take a look at the ways race and poverty have been closely linked throughout our history.
Session 5) Family Promise Panel Discussion
Family Promise staff and former clients will join us for a panel discussion on poverty and houselessness.
Session 6) Justice for All? Stepping Out in Faith
We will finish this series with a look at the widening income gap and conversation about how we as people of faith might turn our knowledge and compassion into action.
