On Policing, Reconciliation, Black Lives, and the Church’s Role in Society | The Rev. Gayle Fisher-Stewart, Jonathan Serrie, Carolle Perkins | Parish Hall
Join us as we continue our discussion about these complex issues. The Rev. Gayle Fisher-Stewart is an Episcopal priest who in her previous career served for 20 years as a police officer in Baltimore. We will watch a 9-minute video offering her perspective. The Rev. Fisher-Stewart suggests that national discussion has not had an impact, and posits that these discussions at the local level would be more effective. She raises a lot of wonderful questions and invites us to reflect on where we are called to move as Christians. Do we really want to be one people? Are we willing to give up certain rights to protect others? Where is the church in all this? Join facilitators Jonathan Serrie and Carolle Perkins as they lead us in continued conversation and prayer.
Parenting Through Play | Regina Finan | St. Luke Room

You will also walk away with a better understanding of relevant child development and strategies that incorporate play to help deepen your connection to your children. Mother of Isabella and CJ, Regina is also a doctoral student in counselor education at the University of Georgia. She has education and training in working with children and families.
Kids at Kanuga? A Parent Primer on the Annual Parish Retreat |Wilmer Chapel | Susanna Roberts
Heading off to the retreat for the weekend with young children might seem daunting if you’ve never done it before. But have no fear, we have Kanuga vets to answer all your questions and give you the ins and outs of this terrifically fun weekend (for all ages!). Retreat registration forms will be available so you can sign up -- and request a cabin with another family. Bring your questions and join us.
Bible Study | Hamilton Room
The Bible comes alive when we engage it with others. In studying scripture together, we learn from one another – from our various perspectives, experiences and questions. Our faith is not so much about having all the answers, but about asking important questions. Join our EfM leaders as we delve into the Sunday scripture readings. All that is required is a curious mind and a heart willing to engage.
