Adult Forum -- October 28 @ 9:15 am in the Sanctuary
Guest Speaker -- Rev. Nancy Nord Bence from "Protect Minnesota"
Gun violence is a pervasive negative influence in America today, stealing lives, devastating families, oppressing communities, and costing Minnesota over $2 billion every year. People of faith recognize that every life is precious to God, but often hesitate to engage in an issue that seems so controversial and intractable. This presentation will focus on gun violence as an array of inter-related public health problems that can be solved - and explain how people of faith can be an important part of the solution.
