“Dialogue and Dessert,” Thursday, February 2

Beginning in February, all are invited to learn in community, through dialogue and questions, about privilege, power and the persistence of racism.  Time together begins with a “Dialog and Dessert” event on February 2, 7:00 pm, at Decorah UCC to introduce concepts, definitions, and to lay the groundwork for small group conversation.  You are then invited to participate in a specific small group for six weeks of continued dialogue, study and reflection. Pr. Amy, Jon Ailabouni, and Sara Hanssen are offering  a group on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm at Good Shepherd.  You can see a list of all groups at http://decorahucc.org/lets_talk/
