The day after Thanksgiving, "Black Friday," is thought to be the
busiest shopping day of the year. Millions of people spend billions of
dollars, often waiting in line at stores for days and fighting their
fellow shoppers for the newest gadget. This compulsion to shop and fill
our lives with more stuff is a reality deeply rooted in the American
dream. In the midst of this pressure to buy and have more, the Creator
is inviting us into a life of simplicity, to make His dreams our own,
to live into a reality radically different from the one being offered
to us everyday. This way of living is rooted in a deep sense of
contentment and gratefulness in the abundance of the Creator's
provision for life and can begin to become a reality as we take
intentional steps of simplicity in our own lives. As a culmination to
the learning lab SIMPLIFY, we will be having the Great Giveaway, a time
of celebration where we will be selling/giving away some of our
possessions and giving the money toward building wells in impoverished
nations. If you would like to join us or just check it out, come by 455 Dolores St (between 17th and 18th) on Friday
November 28th from 10:00-1:00.
