Small Groups this Season

Conversations on Race. As the Advocate community continues to explore  
the many dimensions of racism and white privilege in our lives and in  
our world, the People of the Advocate are invited to participate in  
three Conversations on Race this Easter Season. Groups will meet in  
Advocate host homes at a time and day convenient to all to share  
experiences and perspectives. Some may share a potluck supper, or  
will include child care for kids. Please sign up at Church or by  
email to: Tom Fisher <tfisher97 at nc.rr.com>  For further information  
contact: Sissy Holloman, Tom Fisher or Frank Lombard.

	The First Conversation: How we experienced race growing up, will be  
held at the home of Sissy and William Holloman. Monday April 30, 6:30  
- 8:00 PM. Bring a dish to share as you are able. Child care provided.

	The Second Conversation: how we experience race in our workplace,  
school, community or family today. Location(s) and date to be  
determined.

	The Third Conversation: How we might bring justice, compassion and  
transformation to bear as we confront racism in our community and  
world. Location(s) and date to be determined.

Christ is Risen  from the dead, trampling down death by death, and  
upon those in the tomb bestowing life! (The Easter Troparian.)

Go with God.
