How does one go about making a real difference in today’s culture; how do we get off the sidelines and become active in promoting justice, peace, and respect? This question was posed during a social media post recently that led to the creation of this group we are calling, Hope, not Despair addresses these sensitive and important issues.

The program was initially scheduled as a four-week workshop on ZOOM and it was led by Barbara Gunion, who lives in the neighborhood around Good Shepherd, and Deborah Sampson, a parishioner at Good Shepherd. At the conclusion of the original sessions, it was decided to move to a once a month schedule to continue the discussion.

We have some people looking at the race training for the various law enforcement entities in the area. We’re looking at ways our school districts may treat POC kids different from white kids.

The schedule going forward will be as follows:
