Black History Month
Book Study
Thursdays 6pm-7pm, Feb 22 to Mar 21
Join us for a study of the book: Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman.
Please sign up to receive a copy of the book. Click here to sign up.
Our diocese and the Diocese of California voted last year to make Howard Thurman a saint in our church. This summer the General Convention of The Episcopal Church will vote on adding him to our calendar of saints. His book was first published in 1949, and has been formational to generations of Christians, as well as civil rights leaders.
"Jesus and the Disinherited is a brilliant and compassionate look at God's work in our lives... [It] is an important and influential book whose message helped shape the civil rights movement and changed our nation's history forever. Thurman's work reaches past anger and distrust toward a vision of unity." -from the book's back cover

Learn about Bishop Barbara Harris
The Rt. Rev. Barbara Harris is the newest saint in the Episcopal Church. She died in 2020, and was made a saint in a vote by General Convention in 2022. Already there is a godly play story about her, and celebrations of her life and witness around the Episcopal Church. Bishop Harris was an outspoken follower of Jesus, and the first female bishop in the Anglian Communion.
Deacon Don will give a talk on Barbara Harris, which will be available in the happenings and on our YouTube Channel as a video.
