Preparing for Challenging Conversations around the Holiday Table                                       

 As we enter into the holiday season, we often have to brace ourselves for the inevitable conversations we will be engaging in around the holiday dinner table and holiday parties. How often do we have to think to ourselves, the blood rushing to our face, "Did cousin James really just say that?" Some comments are unintentional; It seems these days, more and more are intentional, as offensive comments are increasingly accepted in our culture. This month, we will consider intentionality and impact, and how we can effectively and compassionately engage across social and political differences to move the needle on social justice.

Accessing the Forum

It seems that some folks have been confused about what entrance to the church to use. There is a large parking lot on the north side of the church that is accessible off of Glencoe St, that is just east of the church. The door to the church you should use is the one that opens onto that parking lot. If you have passengers with mobility difficulties, you can pull up to that entrance and then park in the lot or on the street. Just inside the door, take the stairwell down to the lower level and follow the hallway, turning to the left into the Youth Lounge. If the stairs are difficult, go straight ahead from the door and find the elevator in the narrow hallway.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Many of you have heard that Park Hill United Methodist Church is now a sanctuary location with a family currently seeking refuge there.  Security has been enhanced as we continue to be welcomed to use the building for our meetings.  We can only enter the building from the parking lot where someone will be there to open the door for us.  You may not be able to gain access if you are more than 45 minutes late.
