This week, we are mourning and praying for our Asian American and Pacific Islander siblings who

have experienced increased episodes of racially motivated hatred and violence since the beginning of

the global pandemic. We grieve the loss of the victims of the shootings:

Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez, Paul Andre Michaels, Xiaojie Tan, Daoyou Feng, Soon C. Park, Hyun

J. Grant, Suncha Kim, and Yong A. Yue. We pray for their families and communities and all those who

are grieving.

While we continue to meet and prayerfully plan some invitations to participate in discussion on racial

justice, we want to share some resources to plug into the work now. continued, click here

Fairlington United Methodist Women will begin the 2021 podcast series Who Deserves a Monument? (https://monumentpodcast.podbean.com). “Inspired by one Baltimore high school, this podcast investigates the history of Confederate monuments and symbols—and their uncertain future. But mostly, it explores monumental moments through the stories of five unsung African Americans whose courage and cunning dramatically shaped American history.” Join Fairlington UMW as we discover how our previous podcast discussions intersect with these inspiring leaders with ties to neighboring Baltimore, Maryland. Contact Karlene Masters (karlenemasters@hotmail.com) for the Zoom meeting instructions.
