Jesus said wherever two or three Christians are together – he's there too. So we offer a combination of in-person and web meetings so you can participate with others in prayer, worship or social events. We hope to meet you online or in person soon!

Unpacking Racism
February 8, 2020 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
FreeThe church is called to lead by our example within our own lives, our institutions and by prophetic witness in society. One of the adopted strategic goals of our Annual Conference is “To Live Out the Conviction that Racism is Incompatible with Christian Teaching.”
We will begin our day with worship, followed by a Bible study led by NIC Bishop Sally Dyck. A panel of lay and clergy will help us examine the topic of racism through stories, question-and-answer sessions, and brainstorming ideas for how individuals and churches can become leaders in pursuing equity in society.
We will learn about the impact of racism, the concept of unconscious bias, how race shapes one’s place and understanding of society, and the idea of privilege.
We will finish our day with Closing Worship (with communion).
