April 2 - UpperRoom - EArSTohEaR (Spirituality in Media)

The upper room project meets the first Monday of each month (6:-8:30pm) to engage with spirituality and justice as struggled with and fought for by the Prophets and Jesus. We meet upstairs in the Shine Café/Bar (74 Kingsway Glen Waverley) with gallery space, discussion corners, opportunity for practical response and pondering space.

We hope the upper room will be

• Space to rest/relax with your tribe
• Be challenged by the prophetic call of compassion
• Connect with heartbeats for living

There will be food, wine and friends plus

• a gallery space for photos and other art.
• activist space - activities, information and people deeply into that topic to meet
• conversational space - multimedia and communally led (an interview, music, texts, a place to chat)

Please bring your friends - all are welcome

This month we will have a stacks of movie and music clips that look/question some area of meaning in life. Plus a few papers with various ways of understanding the cross and a relfection on Resurrection and Justice. In the art area we hope to have poster art from thje movies (anyone with good conections there??? we could use more help). Plus it would be good to hear stories from people’s experiences of the Palm Sunday Peace Parade.

Themes/issues for the rest of the year that we hope to finalise on monday are

• May 7 - Stem Cell and human research - with Dr Dave
