Anti Racism Book Group
2021-01-31 11:30 - 12:30
In November, the Anti-Racism Book Group met to discuss our latest book and our plans for the coming months! What we’ve found in the past few months is that some books require a bit more time and energy to read. Due to the Congregational Meeting, the Anti-Racism Book Group will be meeting on January 31 this month after worship. We’ll be digging further into ‘Me and White Supremacy’ by Layla Saad. Please note that reading this book also involves journaling about your experiences with race. We hope to see you there! If you haven’t yet come to an Anti-Racism Book Group meeting but the topic interests you, I would invite you to jump in with this book! Also – MOE has purchased two copies of each of the books for the rest of the schedule, so you’ll be able to grab a copy at church.. You don’t have to come to every book group meeting; we hope you’ll join us for the discussion of any book you find intriguing!
