Wednesday Evening Service

Our Wednesday Evening program returns in August. Core members of the Center's Being and Belonging Group facilitate a conversation based upon Valarie Kaur's book See No Stranger.  After three weeks in deep important conversation, on August 25, we celebrate the presence, love, and heart of who we are with New Thought musician and composer Karen Drucker.

We will meet from noon to 1 pm.  Saad’s  book challenges white people to unpack their unconscious biases and privileges based on skin color.

Participants will support each other in discovering and shifting cultural training to stop unconsciously going along with a centuries-old system of white supremacy.
