Lookin' for Trouble

Westminster & Knox United Church

Dive into the troubles we all have, the trouble the church has caused, the trouble the church is in, the trouble we have in our systems, and the “good trouble” we could all stir up to disrupt the status quo and move towards something better. Lookin' for Trouble will have guests join for an in-depth look into particular ‘troubles’. Some upcoming episodes will include Oxford County of Ontario Helps Ukraine, a chat with some Zorrra Township Councillors about our place in the community to answer best its needs, and a talk about Inclusion, after excluding so many before. It all starts with some baked goods and some tea and coffee, so have yours ready, too, and join us. Listen in to the fun and interesting conversations Susan and Mark have been having for years!
