On the Table Event Hosted at SMS on 10/24/18
We were so glad to welcome you to the On The Table events we co-hosted last year, and I wanted to make sure to invite you to this year’s event as well!
This year’s On the Table conversations will happen on October 24th around the city of Charlotte, and focus on the legacy of segregation. Myers Park UMC is thrilled to be partnering this year with Sedgefield Middle School, and hope to welcome about 200 people- faculty, staff, 8th grade students, church members, and other community members- to learn from and with one another. While there will be other conversations around the city throughout the day, here are the details for our site:
