I want to take a moment to get you caught up about our conversation last Sunday, and the one coming up this Sunday, especially for those of you who weren't there last week.
Our one to one conversations, and our group discussion was about money. We talked about how in our world, money is a huge source of power. It is the way we get things done, and the way people who make important decisions for our communities, get into decision making positions. Our question was: WHAT IF YOUR MONEY FOLLOWED YOUR VALUES? And not just the money you spend for leisure, or even just the money you give away to charity or causes. What if as a community, we started to learn how ALL of our money could be used for our values, instead of values we don't agree with? What could that look like?
So that's what this week's conversation will be about - the next step. During our prayer time, we'll talk more about that question, explore what we've been thinking about this week in relation to money, and what it has to do with our faith. Then after prayer, we'll gather for a co-creation meeting around the tables, and talk about next steps. I'll bring some proposed ideas for further exploring and maybe acting on this concept of using our money for our values, and we'll discuss and make decisions.
This topic had a lot of energy last week. In the world as it is, money is power. And if we want to change the world for the better, we can't shy away from the money conversation. I'd like to invite each of you to come be part of this on Sunday!
We'll also be giving quick updates on the CTUL campaign, and our pot luck and action coming up on Palm Sunday, April 17th.
Take care all, and see you on Sunday at 11:15!
Pete
