Adult Learning Time at 9:45AM on September 23 and 30: Poverty in the U.S. and Jesus’ Instructions for Caring for the Poor
The United States is a land of stark contrasts. It is one of the world’s wealthiest countries, with unsurpassed technological innovation, and a higher education system that leads the world. On the other hand, 40 million in the U.S. live in poverty, 18.5 million live in extreme poverty and 5.3 million live in Third World conditions of absolute poverty (based on 2016 census data). How can this be in one of the world’s wealthiest societies? Join us to learn more about poverty and human rights in the U.S. and to discuss how this information informs how we will do God’s work in the world.
