SUMMARY:Joyful Urgency: A Beacon Convening
DESCRIPTION:Click here for our Public Agenda – Joyful Urgency Convening December 2021 \nThe Beacon collaborative has shown tremendous power and resilience over the last year\, working hard to shelter families\, create homes and advocate for our vision that all people have a home. We have continued to lead the growing Bring it Home\, MN campaign. We have stepped boldly into new policy campaigns locally\, pushing the Met Council and City of Minneapolis to live into their commitment to creating homes for those at the lowest incomes.  And most of this work has been done all virtually over Zoom!    \nIt is time to come together to celebrate this great work and move forward in joyful urgency! You are invited to our first Beacon Congregational Convening since the start of the pandemic.  If you have not attended a convening before\, join us to ground ourselves in our vision and collective story and learn the transformational power of the work we are planning this next year. All congregations are invited in whatever way they have participated in Beacon. We especially welcome you if you just learned about Beacon through a congregational in-reach. This event will be a great introduction to Beacon for those new to our work and nourishment for the journey for everyone working for the vision that all people have a home.   \nDo not miss this convening on Thursday\, December 9th. Save the date.       \nThis is a hybrid event\, and everyone has the option of joining us either in person or virtually via Zoom (the link will be shared with you upon registering). \nOur in-person venue will be:\nSt. Stephen Lutheran Church\n8400 France Ave S\, Bloomington\, MN 55431 \nMasks are required for anyone attending in person\, and we will provide extras at the door if you don’t have one.
