Five years ago Rabbi Mark Biller joined a session of an EfM Class (Education for Ministry) here at Grace to discuss Midrash. Midrash is the literary genre of stories that fill in the gaps in Holy Scripture and ask and answer questions raised by the biblical texts. In our final session of the School for Christian Practice offering, What Are You Not Telling Me, Rabbi Biller will join us once again as cohost with Dr. Park. Please join in the zoom on Monday, May 10 at 5:30 PM!

Sacred Ground is a film-based dialogue series on race, grounded in our faith, and its call to faith, hope and love. The ten-part course is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories. The series is open to all, and especially designed to help white people talk with other white people and peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day.
