LIVING CONVERSATIONS: Do You See Me?
Tuesday • March 21 • 7-8:30pm
Family Life Center
We want to extend the conversation we opened up at last year's "Living Conversations: Learning & Talking about Black Lives" event with a new conversation on the mindset of “I don’t see skin color”.
With the help of presenters from within and beyond our congregation, as well as small and large group dialogue, we want to explore if colorblindness is helpful or hurtful. We invite everyone to join us for this important opportunity to practice open and honest listening, sharing, and learning.
