Solomon's Porch tonight

Solomon's Porch Coffee House conversation meets tonight from 7-8 pm at First Cup Coffee House at Five Mile and Inkster Rd.

The topic for tonight:

As people of faith we are often called to have hope where there seems to be no hope, to be a voice of hope in our communities. Over the past few years tens of thousands of Michigan residents have left the state. In 2007 Metro Detroit was the foreclosure capital of the US. Our situation seems dire. What responsibility, if any, do people of faith have to stick it out during these lean times, these times when things seem utterly helpless? Do we have a responsibility to remain present and help transition our communities toward stabilization or is it OK to be part of the flight toward what appear to be greener pastures elsewhere? I want to know what you think? Be part of the conversation tonight at 7pm.
