How to Build a Bridge: The Road to Reconciliation

One hand held out for two other hands
11:30 am - 12:30 pm
June 1

First Presbyterian Church of Ashland

Are the growing divides in our world starting to feel overwhelming? The first step, and one that each one of us can do, is to “depolarize within.”

We need to look for the walls of separation and hostility inside ourselves and learn how we can start dissolving them. With that as a starting point, we become bearers of reconciliation in our own homes, within our existing family structures, in our workplaces, and beyond. Come find out some ways, as individuals, we can get there.

This FREE presentation starts at 11:30 (Feel free to attend the service on Reconciliation at 10, or for snacks at 11:15)

Presenter: Marla Estes, Founder, Building Bridgers, working to bridge the political divide since 2017
