Join in an ARTF Conversation with Downtown Neighbors, December 17, 11:45 a.m. in the dining room, in-person only.

In a world where relationships tend to be transactions rather than human interactions and worth is judged by possession of resources and expertise rather than simple human value, it’s no mystery that both church and community resort to prejudice and injustice. During Advent, ARTF is inviting young adult guests (mostly African American) from the downtown area to talk with us about their experiences. We will ask them how they experience law enforcement, where they experience general prejudice in the neighborhood, and how they see the church in light of their experiences. We hope that learning will eventually turn to partnership and improvement.

Join Beverly Bodom, other ARTF members, and special guests for lunch and conversation on December 17 following worship if you want to listen in!
