Movie night! Join us, we'll provide the popcorn!

 According to the website, "The Sea to Sea 2013 Bike Tour is a nine-week, 3,900-mile cycling trek across North America designed to raise awareness and funds in support of those living in poverty around the world."
We are working on the funds and doing well so far.  Now, about the awareness component.  In church and at work most people ask about the training, or the ride or the practical issues of the Sea to Sea in terms of logistics.  Almost no one asks us about poverty.  So how do we engage people in a meaningful way?
A new movie came out this week dealing with hunger in the U.S.  We thought this would make a great opprotinity to get some people in our house discussing poverty.
We might not all agree with the political positions in this movie.  That is not our intent in showing this movie.  We want to raise awareness and join in discussion in prayer.
So join us in our home, Saturday March 16.  Lets watch the movie, discuss our thoughts on poverty in America and join in prayer.
