May 2 and 3 — Poverty Simulation (Worship and Wisdom Quarterly Conference)
.png)
Poverty is a reality for many individuals and families. But unless you’ve experienced poverty, it’s difficult to truly understand. In our upcoming Worship and Wisdom Quarterly Summit on the first weekend of May, Manchaca UMC will be hosting a poverty simulation experience. We pray it helps bridge the gap from misconception to understanding. On Friday, May 2 we will have a worship service, and on Saturday, May 3 we will do an interactive immersion experience. The simulation is meant to sensitize community participants to the realities of poverty. We have space for 8 participants; click here to sign up!
