A pair of local churches will host The Blanket Exercise in the new year. On Saturday, January 11th at 6:30 PM, Second Reformed Church will be hosting the workshop, and on Sunday, January 12th at 3:00 PM, Grace Fellowship is hosting. Following at 5:00 PM that Sunday, supper will be offered along with a Q&A with multi-cultural presenters. The Blanket Exercise is a 90-minute interactive workshop which walks participants through the history of relationship between Indigenous peoples and other people in North America. It helps participants understand why reconciliation is needed and how to take steps toward doing so by powerful testimony from Indigenous people and through an engaging workshop. All are welcome to attend. This is an interactive workshop, so those attending should bring a blanket the size of a crib or larger for personal use. Posters and brochures available for pick up at Pella Public Library and your churches.
