The first SATS gathering of the New Year was incredible. We had the largest attendance in SATS history, many of whom were new to the SATS community. We talked about poverty, both local and global, and how we, as Christians, are obligated to do something about the injustices that exist in our world. Maureen Morgan gave a great, interesting and informative presentation about poverty, charity vs. justice, and the Make Poverty History and Micah Challenge campaigns. After her presentation, we had a group discussion about the issues addressed. This is a new addition to SATS and I think it was great. We got to talk, ask questions and let the ideas really sink in. This kind of group dialog emphasizes that SATS is a community.
If you want to become further involved in our community and help alleviate poverty in our area, you are more than welcome to come to St. Vincent's on Sunday to help serve breakfast with us.
Also, don't forget about the movie night on Sat, Jan 19, when we'll be showing Amazing Grace. Showtime is 7pm.
