Epiphany Devoted to Global Poverty

Each year during the Epiphany season we celebrate the revealing of God’s grace. Therefore, we at Holy Spirit proclaim, beyond our walls, the Lord’s love and caring for the world.

Members of our congregation will present temple talks during this season to inform us about the Millenium Development Goals. We will gain an understanding of how serious are the issues that the MDGs address. We will also learn how progress is being made. Most importantly, we will see how each one of us can have a role in eradicating extreme poverty in the world.
