Join us after church on March 26 to take part in a courageous conversation on race. These conversations will be facilitated by students from the Cultural Leadership Institute which includes our own Tommy Epling. Cultural Leadership's award-winning high school program is a year-long experience that educates students about social justice through the lens of the African-American and Jewish experience. Based in St. Louis, Cultural Leadership is dedicated to creating a more just community by training area youth to be the next generation of civil rights leaders. They do that by training high school area youth over a year long program, to stand up, speak out, and take action. Students learn about our country’s civil rights history, Jewish and African American history and cultures, and develop the skills to be agents of change.
To RSVP, please sign-up in the Gathering Space or email Kendra in the church office at adminasst@faithdesperes.org. A light lunch will be provided.
