A gift to Broad Street members and friends
Many of you will remember Chris Sunami who was raised at Broad Street. A Columbus resident, philosopher, educator, and musician, and author, Chris has made available to us free copies of his book Hero for Christ: 30 Ways You Can Be More Like Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Twenty Other World Changing Christians.
The book speaks to issues of importance to Christians of all races, and is a great resource for devotional and reflective reading! Chris has donated copies of his book for anyone who would like a copy. Books are available in the church office, or email office@broadstreetumc.net
