Tuesdays beginning January 14, 6:30 pm

We won’t be solving racism in five weeks, as it’s systemic, however, this is an important first step in the commitment for allyship and racial equity. While the hope is that you’ll be able to attend all five sessions, don’t let missing one or more keep you from this most important conversation. Sessions will go from 6:30 pm-8:00 pm and childcare will be provided. Please see Rev. Mollie with any questions.
