Mission u event upcoming
Consider Creation as a great banquet table filled with people from our communities, businesses, churches, family and world. Who sits with us? Who doesn’t? What are the challenges we face as we meet and welcome others? As people concerned with inadequacies in society with regard to the rights of people with disabilities, we must explore the complexity of our roles and connections to this issue. The intent of this program is to build awareness regarding issues around disability, to call to provide full accessibility to services and opportunities, and to promote advocacy for justice for people with disabilities.
You are cordially invited to attend the “ Mission u” event in Kenai at the Dena’ina Wellness Center March 27-28. This event is for women, men and youth in middle or high school. We will focus on two study topics with three classes available. The Social Justice Understanding Study will have an adult class, “The Church and People with Disabilities” and a youth class, “Welcoming Persons with Disabilities into Our Lives,” and a spiritual growth study, “How is it with your Soul?”
The event begins March 27 at 6 p.m., running until 9 p.m. We gather again March 28 with breakfast at 8-8:45 a.m. with class beginning at 9 a.m. Lunch is also included, and the event will conclude at 4:45 p.m. The youth class is Saturday only. Cost of the event is $60 for adults and $25 for youth. Scholarships are available.
