Coming Up

Let's Talk About It - A Periodic Series

Sunday, August 25, 9:05 - 9:55 a.m.
in the Ruth Christie Room
Facilitated by Sue Linderman

Issues of race and discrimination continue to dominate our news cycles, as the racism embedded in our country's historical DNA keeps coming to the fore. How are we to respond, as Christians, to the words and actions we observe or experience? What might we say? What might we do? Come join use as we share our thoughts and experiences in preparing ourselves to navigate this sometimes-fraught territory of confronting discrimination in real time.
