At HPUC we have a number of community groups led by both lay and pastoral leaders. This is a great way to plug in and build connection. Check out the current offerings below!
1619 Project Second Hour: Sundays August 14 and 28, September 11 and 25
“A dramatic expansion of a groundbreaking work of journalism, The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story offers a profoundly revealing vision of the American past and present...The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning “1619 Project” issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on that work, weaving together eighteen essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with thirty-six poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance.”
Join Kathy Williams and Curtis Evans, Associate Professor at the University of Chicago Divinity School, as they lead us in reading The 1619 Project and contemplating why this work has been so groundbreaking. For the first session on August 14, we’ll introduce the work and cover Chapter 1: “Democracy” by Nikole Hannah-Jones, Chapter 2: “Race” by Dorothy Roberts, and Chapter 3: “Sugar” by Khalil Gibran Muhammad.
Young(ish) Adults with Rev. Sarah Lusche
Kick Off Dinner : Thursday, September 29 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm
First and Third Thursdays, 6:30 - 8:00 pm (virtually accessible on first Thursdays)
This is a group for 20, 30, and 40 somethings, including our student communities!
