New Sunday Morning Book Study Starting Feb. 18, 9am, conference Room: “Jesus and the Disinherited” by Howard Thurman, led by Steve Gowler. Part bible study, part liberating theology, and part loving manifesto, “Jesus and the Disinher-ited” is concise and powerful guide to faith. Written in the 1940s, its current relevance is a striking testament of Thurman’s spiritual insight. Plan to Join Dr. Steve Gowler on a journey with Thurman through Lent.
