UpperRoom - Ethical Consumption @ Age’s

This month the Upper Room Project meets at Age’s place not Shine.
A few reasons for the change in venue.
- As it is the Monday straight after praxis07 weekend we didn’t know how many would be up for another night together:)
- the topic is Ethical Consumption and Shine isn’t a fair trade/organic/etc player who last month double booked us with a party so we had to meet downstairs
- we have our own fair trade coffee and praxis wine if we do it ourselves with cafe>praxis
- plus it is a great opportunity to have a shared meal of ethical stuff as an end of year thing.
So we will have shared meal of foods brought by us that fit somewhere in the ethical consumption framework. Should be a fun way to engage the topic as we give reasons for our contribution.
Of course there will be info, video clips and art playing on a wall and some Christmas shopping ideas for a better world.
Email Age if you are coming so he gets a feel for numbers and food age@morepraxis.org.au
Upper Room Project meets the first Monday of each month (6:30-9pm) to engage with spirituality and justice as struggled with and fought for by the Prophets and Jesus. We normally 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

Hi Billie, your stuff and site looks great with some helpful links for other businesses.
I really liked the ‘we are’ sections.
Maybe a mention/link to the outworkers code of practice would be good. Our fairwear friends can help with that. http://www.fairwear.org.au/engine.php?SID=1000014
