We offer a variety of programs during the year for adults to deepen their understanding of faith.
Our summer book club will meet on Saturday mornings to discuss Austin Channing Brown’s 2018 book, I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness. In this memoir, she discusses her experience as an African-American woman growing up and then working in mostly white neighborhoods, schools, churches, and Christian organizations. She challenges mainstream American Christians to see how many of our assumptions unknowingly perpetuate racism and white supremacy, in an accessible way.
Sat June 27 - Chapters 1-3 (to p. 51).
Sat July 11 - Chapters 4-5 (to p. 84).
Sat July 18 - Chapters 6-8 (to p. 118)
Sat July 25 - Chapter 9 to the end.
For more information on the book, please visit this site. We still have a couple extra copies for anyone who would like to join us (we’ll find a way to get it to you if you’re local, or you can order a copy directly yourself).
We hope to have another book study group in the fall … please check back for more information here soon.
