Join other book lovers on Monday, May 20, 7:00 p.m. for an online discussion (Zoom at bit.ly/LR-BookGroup) presented by the Women’s Ministry and supported by our Antiracism Ministry. We are looking forward to our discussion of Hollywatts, the memoir of our former interim pastor, the Rev. Dr. Arthur L. Cribbs, Jr. He describes the journey his family took from the segregated life in Memphis to a new life in Southern California, seeking a better life that his parents wanted for the family. Seven years after graduating from high school the author returns to see a dramatically changed Watts. Guns, gangs, and drugs completely transformed his childhood home, a change that Pastor Art describes as orchestrated.

Our discussion will center on the life of the Cribbs family and the possible sources of the changes the author describes. As a very special guest, the author himself, Pastor Art, will be joining the Book Group discussion from the west coast! Mark your calendars and plan to join via Zoom this very special and lively discussion of the book.
