Congregations in Classis Grand Rapids North are invited to join a reading group on the book White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo. 

A team of facilitators met this past fall for a Race Relations learning retreat in Sierra Madre, CA. They prayed together, grew together, and explored the history of Native Americans in California.
