Youth and Poverty

Featuring a viewing of the Sojourners documentary, The Line, followed by discussion.

Thursday, March 21, at 6:30 pm
Magnuson Campus Center, room 310

Have you ever wondering what really "makes someone poor"? Is being in a state of poverty really a person's own fault? Should they have "worked harder" or planned better? Should they have been more spiritual? Are they not blessed? Come join Nicole Anthony, from World Vision Chicago, as CYMS hosts a showing of the critically acclaimed documentary The Line. A discussion and Q & A session will follow. This session will not be webcast.
