A real treat awaits us in March as we discuss our book club selection with the author! Read God's Holy Darkness and join us on Saturday March 21st at 10:00 as the author and UIF pastor, Sharei Green, leads the discussion.
'In God's Holy Darkness, Sharei Green and Beckah Selnick deconstruct anti-Blackness in Christian theology by celebrating instances in the story of God's people when darkness, blackness, and night are beautiful, good, and holy. From the darkness at the beginning of creation to the blackness of the sky on the day when Christ's birth was announced to the shepherds, children learn that blackness is something to celebrate as an important element of the life of faith. Lush and vibrant illustrations by artist Nikki Faison underscore the mystery and beauty of these wondrous acts of God's holy darkness.' -- Augsburg Fortress
