There are also stories of our bodies that are woven into our experiences. \n​Within our Christian tradition\, there are ways of praying and moving that are being rediscovered\, especially in light of neuroscience. Knowledge of how we are created brings wisdom and compassion. \n​Simple practices involving our whole selves better equip us to welcome grief as an opportunity to deepen and transform us and those we serve. \n\n\nTogether\, we will: \n\nlearn about the impacts of grief on the body and nervous systems\nreflect upon our own present relationship with grief\nexperience spiritual practices that are soothing and healing and open us to God’s constant presence\ndiscern their application for ourselves and those we serve

SUMMARY:Black Tax
DESCRIPTION:The Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy invites you to two special events with author\, Shawn Rochester to discuss his book\, The Black Tax: The Cost of Being Black in America. Rochester\, a former corporate development\, and global strategy executive quantifies the fiscal impact of the detrimental tax Black Americans pay in the auto\, housing\, online\, job\, and lending markets. \nThe book examines the staggering financial cost from emancipation to the present day to answer the question of how\, after 400 years\, more than 40 million African Americans own only 2% of U.S. wealth. More than simply identifying the problem\, Rochester lays out an empowerment plan to create much-needed jobs and businesses in the Black community. \nThe first online session will meet on Thursday\, March 4 and the second session is on Thursday\, April 8. Both meetings will begin at 6:30 PM CST. There is no cost to attend\, but advance registration is required. Advance reading of the book is highly encouraged\, but it is not required.
