Week 3 of this Lenten journey focuses on local poverty. Topics include food, hunger, housing, education, access to health care, mental health, poverty rate, safety, trauma, and family demographics.
Use the calendar as a guide to facilitate discussion and explore this topic. Then use the Lent symbols or the coloring sheet or your own method to track your participation. Read the introduction for “Journey through the Desert of Poverty” for more details and ideas for using these resources.
