We Are All Children of God from Dr. Cynthia M. Benz
In this video update, Dr. Cynthia M. Benz shares in the pain of our country as we mourn the loss of Mr. George Floyd. In the face of racism and inequality, we as Christians are called to help effect change in our community. To aid in this change, Cindy encourages us to participate in Myers Park Presbyterian's "Better When We're Back Together" 21-day race equity challenge.
