Book Discussion (Crowned With Glory, 3:30-4:30pm): Special Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Programming

You are invited to participate in Houghton’s special programming for MLK Day on Monday, January 15.

At 11:00am, please join us in the chapel to watch a remote interview with this year’s special guest speaker, Christian author and educator Jasmine L. Holmes.
