VITAL CONVERSATIONS: RACE
As you may know, the theme of the 2017 Annual Conference was “Vital Conversations: Race”. The premise was that we can’t keep the issue of racism behind a locked door. We’re called to open the door, identify the injustice of racism, and examine our own personal challenges.

To that end Bangor First is offering two opportunities to engage and discuss the topic of racism. The first, “Race: The Power of an Illusion”, is a powerful 3-part documentary about the origins and effects of racism and white privilege. The other is “Covenantal Restoration” – a 12-session video and discussion series on faith and race. Both will be offered on Sunday mornings beginning September 3.  (Click here for details.)  

WEDNESDAY COFFEE & CONVERSATION
If you find the Bible’s final book, “The Revelation to John”, confusing, frightening, or just plain unreadable, this is the discussion for you! Beginning September 13 we'll be meeting on Wednesdays from 2:00 – 3:00 PM at the Broadway Tim Horton’s to share in a discussion of Revelation for Everyone by N.T. Wright.   

Books are available through Amazon (including Kindle version) and other book sellers. If you would like the church office to order a book for you, please call 945-9567 and allow at least 2 business days for delivery.
