Ticket Information
Overview
An evening of storytelling and of reflection by and for practitioners who are seeking to eradicate poverty and injustice according to the call and the person of Jesus Christ.
We are a movement of people motivated by faith in Jesus to cooperatively address the issues that contribute to poverty and injustice. On April 10th, we will be asking: how do we honour lament while holding space for hope? We will discuss the challenges of caregiving, the importance of hope in the midst of injustice, and the Christian perspectives on how hope, grief, despair are all intertwined. There will be storytelling, theological reflection, music, art, food, and ample time to mingle and connect.
