Greetings in peace to all!
Parenting in Today's World Book Group
 Parents, grandparents, teachers - really anyone who is connected to children - are invited to participate in a book study of Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America by Dr. Jennifer Harvey. This book provides the foundation for wrestling with our own bias, prejudice and leads us to examine the racism prevalent in our society along with sharing tools that we can use to support our children as they develop their racial understanding. Rev. Catherine Stark-Corn will facilitate the groups. Two groups are scheduled, group size will be limited, you can sign up here. Additional groups can be created as needed.
Sundays June 21, 28, July 5, 12 4:30 - 6:00 pm
Tuesdays, June 23, 30, July 7, 14 7:00 - 8:30 pm
Questions? Interested but the schedule does not work for you? Contact Catherine.
