Breathe Reading Guide
Join us for a discussion of this year’s Congregation Book Read, Imani Perry’s Breathe: A Letter to My Sons (Beacon Press, 2019). Perry’s thoughtful meditation on race, gender, and the meaning of life explores the terror, grace, and beauty of coming of age as a Black person in contemporary America and what it means to parent our children in a perpetually unjust world. This online discussion will be facilitated by Karen Hering and members of the Racial and Restorative Justice Team.

​Connecting with Ourselves and Others: Relationships and Sexuality

This new monthly series offers a candid look at gender identity, sexuality, and relationships, connecting our personal experience to the experiences of others and the forces of society at large. Each time we meet, we will discuss short articles or videos on the monthly topics and hold small group conversations reflecting on personal experiences. We will learn about ourselves while identifying actions we can take in our church community to make it more welcoming for all.

The class, led by Unity Church member Mike Huber, will critique the heteronormative expectations of dominant culture. All adults are welcome. Members of the LGBTQ+ community are encouraged to register. Please invite friends who might want to join you in attending. This is an eight-part series held on Zoom, Thursday evenings, 7:00- 8:30 p.m., October 29 – May 27, 2021.

Registration is free and a single registration will apply to all monthly programs you are able to attend. The hope is to build a community that will create a group understanding. Register online at http://bit.ly/ connectingselfandother. For more information, email mikehuberece@gmail.com.
