SUMMARY:Ice Cream Social-Justice with Gather Twin Cities
DESCRIPTION:From growing up with prosperity gospel-influenced theologies to spending young adulthood jumping from one national/global financial crisis to the next\, talking about money can SUCK and fill our bodies with the physical manifestation of dread. And yet—as people of faith—we know that we are created to live in community\, which includes talking together about how we want to spend our money. \nJoin Kayla Zopfi and Gather Twin Cities on October 19\, at 7:00 p.m. at University Lutheran Church of Hope to continue to reconstruct abundance-rooted ethics about our roles\, autonomy\, and generosity in systems of capitalism that we didn’t choose to live under\, and yet still do!
