Word & Table Panel Event: What Works (and Doesn't Work) in Anti-Poverty Programming?
September 19 | 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
The goal of Word and Table (W&T) is to bring people together, sometimes over a meal, for a faith-based dive into issues of social concern.
Earlier this year, the W&T team chose poverty as our initial topic of interest. Through community speakers and a book study, we began to see that poverty is extremely complex—as are the solutions to poverty.
It follows, then, that not every solution is a good solution. What seems like the “obvious solution” to some facet of poverty might actually be ineffective or perhaps even a disaster in the making. How does one tell the difference? What have others learned along the way? How can we determine where our limited resources will make the biggest lasting impact?
Questions like these are the focus of our next W&T event: a panel discussion on Sunday, September 19, 2021. David Vanderveen from Hope Ministries, Beth Barrett from Christ Child Society of South Bend, and CtK's own Sally Dixon from the St. Joseph County Department of Health will share their experiences creating and administering programs to address poverty, homelessness, and related issues in our community.
Please invite friends and neighbors (near and far) to join you in registering for the September 19 panel event! Local registrants will have the option to receive a free meal provided by Pack Away Hunger, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children who suffer from hunger and malnutrition. You may register by visiting www.ctkluth.com/wordandtable or by picking up a paper form in the church office. Registration closes on September 14, so sign up today!
Registration is limited to the first 100 Zoom links and will close on Tuesday, September 14. Please invite friends and neighbors, near and far, to join you in registering for the event by clicking here.
