One of the pillars of being a Matthew 25 church is working to dismantle systemic racism. To understand what systemic racism is we have to first explore our own history and examine how it influences our understanding of race.

On Sunday, February 22, we will watch a reading of the book, Born on the Water, and engage in table discussion as we learn more about African American history, racism and how our own history influences our understanding of race and each other.

Please plan to join us for this opportunity to explore our origins. Lunch will be provided. Let us know you will attend by contacting Connie Smith at connie928smith@gmail.com or 440-376-8736.

If you are interested in reading the book now, you can check it out of the John Knox Library. We have only one copy so please remember to return it to the book to the library as soon as you have finished reading it.
