The Rising Costs of Gas

Interesting article on CNN about whether agriculturally-based fuel is really worth it, when it concurrently depletes necessary food sources for the world's poorest. Thanks Cristy, for forwarding it!

Discussions about Simplicity, Compassion and Justice

Beginning September 7, we will be starting our 8-lesson study of SIMPLER LIVING, COMPASSIONATE LIFE, a collection of essays which discuss simplicity as a path to compassion, justice, wholeness, and abundance from a Christian perspective.

The study will meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the Month in Ann Arbor from 7:30-9:30pm. Drop a comment w/ your email address, if you are seeking directions.

Our Detroit Service projects will continue to meet on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month. We meet at the Ann Arbor Vineyard Church at 8:15am, carpool to Detroit, and are back at the church by 1pm.
