Art for Liberation
February 9th, 2:30pm, In-Person and Online through Zoom
Guest Minister: Rev. Karen Fraser Gitlitz

Have you ever left a conversation feeling like you weren’t at your best? Do you find yourself unaccountably awkward in cross-cultural situations? It’s great to say that we want to have inclusive communities and that we want our congregations to be places where everyone is welcome and no-one experiences barriers, but how do we move towards this vision? Back in 2019, Karen realized that her skills and abilities were miles behind her hopes and dreams. Join us for this in-person service as she shares some of her ongoing journey to level up for racial justice. Potluck meal to follow.

How do we trust after we’ve been hurt? Should we? There is a direct connection between the level we trust and open-hearted living!
