What if you had to choose between paying rent or buying groceries?

Pekin First UMC and Grace UMC have joined forces to host a powerful Poverty Simulation—an experience that places you in the shoes of families living on the edge of poverty.

In just one afternoon, you’ll navigate real-life decisions, unexpected setbacks, and the stress of trying to make ends meet. It’s eye-opening, humbling, and deeply meaningful.

Jesus calls us to care for the poor—and understanding is where that calling begins.

Sign up today and be part of this transformative experience. Space may be limited, so don’t wait!

Time: 1 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
