Dear Neighbors,

We invite you to First Church Somerville for our panel, "Persevering Up Heartbreak Hill: A Panel to Address Racism and White Privilege in the Communities and Congregations of Somerville and Beyond. The event is on Thursday, 4/30, from 7-9 PM.

Our panelists are Somerville Police Chief Anthony Holloway; Associate General Minister of the United Church of Christ, Edith Guffey; Activist and past Executive Director of Centro Presente, Elena Latona; and professor and scholar of racism and the work of anti-racism at Wellesley College, Peggy McIntosh, author of "The Knapsack of White Priviledge."

The panel is a part of our project called Sacred Conversations on Race. Funded by the Barnes Foundation, and led by a steering committee of the congregation, First Church has been hard at work since January, 2009 learning and hosting learning opportunities to explore how racism works in our congregation, in Somerville and in our worlds.

We are located at 89 College Ave. We are an open and affirming church.

We'd love it if y'all came.

Rev. Laura Ruth
