TOPICAL DISCUSSION GROUP

BREAKING DOWN RACISM
Facilitator: Jason Daum
Breaking Down Racism
March 24 – May 26, 2021
Wednesdays, 8:00 – 9:00 PM

In this ten-week study, we’ll dive into the topic of American Racism. What is racism? What are the root causes of racism in the United States? And, what is our opportunity, as Christians, in dismantling racism and systems of oppression in our community.
 
In our time together we’ll stretch our understanding of race and racism, reflect on our personal experiences with race and racism, wallow in our discomfort, seek repentance where it’s needed and prayerfully act.
 
There’s no cost. There’s not even a book you have to read.
All you have to do is show up and dig in!
