3e United recently took a delegation to hear Michael Rhodes, author of the new book
Practicing the King's Economy
speak about the book and how we can live out these Kingdom practices in practical ways. From there our group of leaders walked through a Cost of Poverty Experience simulation. COPE is an event that offers participants a glimpse into the lives of low-income individuals and families living in our community. It is a look into the obstacles that are faced, the decisions that are made, and the consequences that impact these families every day. It was an incredible experience for those that participated, leaving some in tears as they felt, some for the first time, compassion for those on the fringes in our community. There was great conversation afterward as we reflected on our experience and then had some great takeaways for moving forward. 3e is planning to bring COPE to Collin County, stay tuned for upcoming dates.
