LACONIA — Each year congregants at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia share a “common read” book. This year’s book is Breath: A Letter to My Sons. The author, Imani Perry, is a black mother of two sons.
On Sunday morning, January 24th, the worship committee will lead a service touching on the themes in the book, considering what it is like raising black children in today’s America. “The book forces us to confront some of the unique challenges that mothers encounter raising black children. It pursues the beauty in life as well as the difficulties. It gives us all pause to think about what a letter would be like that we might write to children in our lives.” The book gives us all much to think about and what we want to instill in our children.
The service, beginning at 10 a.m., is available on ZOOM. For information contact uusloffice@gmail.com
