SUMMARY:Soup-er Sunday Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Leaving Home\, Seeking Hope: Understanding Why People Migrate \nWhat would it take for you to leave your home\, your community\, and everything familiar in search of a better future? \nThis November\, our Soup-er Supper Speaker Series welcomes Mary Anne Perrone (WCS) to help us explore the stories behind migration. Drawing on her work in Honduras\, Mary Anne will share personal stories and insights into the root causes that compel people to leave their homelands—and how our lives are connected to theirs. \nThrough learning\, conversation\, and a shared meal\, we’ll consider how our faith calls us to respond with greater understanding\, compassion\, and love for our neighbors.
