HARC Meeting: “Beyond Diversity” viewing and discussion

November 9, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

For the November HARC meeting, we will view the Barna Group’s “Beyond Diversity” 3 short videos, exploring diversity and the Church, followed by small group discussions after each video.  The purpose is to get a better understanding of the  latest opportunities and challenges impacting racial justice in the faith community.  We also hope to provide you tools and opportunities for engagement in this issue to take back to your congregation.

Thanks to St. Mark’s Lutheran Church for hosting the meeting in their newly renovated building.  Parking is available in the lot across the street from the church.

This will NOT be a lunch meeting, so please eat before you come.  Note the time shift to 1:00 to allow for time for you to eat prior to the meeting.  Masks are required.  We anticipate this being a two hour meeting to allow for ample discussion time.  The meeting will not be recorded due to personal sharing in the discussions.  Please RSVP to let us know if you plan to attend:

————————————————-

HARC meetings are typically held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at 12:30 pm, except July and August, with an occasional evening meeting. When meeting in-person, the location typically rotates among different houses of faith, giving each member congregation an opportunity to host. If in-person meetings are deemed unsafe for our members, they are held on Zoom.

Interfaith Thanksgiving Service

The HARC Interfaith Thanksgiving Service held on Sunday, November 24, was a beautiful event full of unity amid appreciation of our differences. The multi-colored leaves on the bulletin cover illustrated this harmony: "[they] are all alike, yet all different. And they fit perfectly together." You can view the recording on Facebook or it will soon be posted on Benevola UMC's YouTube page. Many thanks to the many participants who made this service amazing, and to Benevola United Methodist Church for hosting this year.
