UPDATES: When entering the driveway from Shaker, go through to the back of the church and park in the large parking lot. Enter the building from that parking lot (lower level) and registration will be set up in the hallway.

Masks will be required because of the rise in Covid rates.  We will have windows open and space out as much as possible.  We want to do everything possible to keep each other safe. We also recommend you bring your own water bottle.

Lunch will be provided – a variety of sandwiches, salads and dessert.  No other snacks will be provided.  Please let Felicia Scott know if you have any dietary restrictions.  You can email her at:  fscott@baltimorepresbytery.org

One of the topics we will be exploring together is White Supremacy Culture– what is it and how does it show up in institutions?  If you are able, please take time before Thursday to read Tema Okun’s description of White Supremacy Culture on this page:  https://www.whitesupremacyculture.info/what-is-it.html

Come with your reflections, your questions and your curiosity!
