Theme Angle for this week:

Our faith reminds us that we must renew our vigor in the fight against racism. In light of the current events which have catalyzed the world, we renew the energy with which we teach our children about racism. So what's one of the ways our faith guides us into becoming a people of renewal? It tells us "Renew your commitment to dismantling racism!"
