This year the UCC is encouraging congregations to read and discuss Matthew Desmond’s Pulitzer Prize winning-book, Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City.

You are invited to read the book ahead of time and join in a time of conversation on Wednesday, August 7 at 6 pm about critical issues of affordable housing, displacement, poverty, and homelessness – and how we might most effectively contribute to solutions.

Order the book here – https://bit.ly/2LiGe34 or here – https://amzn.to/2xImpsW . There are also copies available at several area public libraries.

If you need help securing a copy, please let us know. This conversation will take the place of Bible Study on that Wednesday evening.

More information about the book can be found here – and check out these reviews in The Guardian and the New York Times.
