AND discussion and
dialogue
November 8: Green: The New Red, White and Blue - led by Ron Wilhelm
This is the latest video (65 minutes) from Interfaith Power & Light. The film presents a good overview of most of the technologies currently being promoted as solutions to the energy crisis and global climate change. After viewing the video, we'll engage in a discussion of the possibilities presented.
November 15: The Living Wage - led by Kim Batchelor
How can we, the members of Northaven, live prophetically when it comes to what people are paid for the work they do? Just wages is an important theme biblically, and this session will reflect on the verses that call us to do justice in regard to the rights of workers. To bring the issue to modern day, we’ll watch the brief video from the television program “30 Days” in which Morgan Spurlock, director of the documentary “Supersize Me,” and his fiancé spend 30 days living on what was then the minimum wage.
If you plan to come to these sessions, please call the Church Office at
214-363-2479 and leave your name and the sessions you will be attending.
These sessions are a part of our ongoing effort to provide meaningful opportunities through which we at Northaven UMC can grow in spirit and servanthood.
