Join us this fall for a book study on Dr. Jennifer Harvey’s Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America. Our discussions about the book will take place on five consecutive Monday nights, beginning Monday, September 14 and ending Monday, October 12. Each Monday, we will gather online using Zoom from 8pm to 9pm to talk together about the important and challenging work of helping white children to grapple with race and racism so that they are prepared to be effective and active participants in the struggle for racial justice. The group will be facilitated by Dr. Matt Jantzen from Hope College. Sign up to participate at https://tinyurl.com/raisingwhitekids.  Books must be purchased on your own through bookstores or online retailers.  Financial assistance is available for books by contacting Pastor Beth. Below is the reading schedule that will be roughly followed each week, but we encourage everyone to feel free to attend even if you aren’t able to get to the reading:
  • 9/14 – Introduction
  • 9/21 – Chapters 1-2
