Book Club
This is a social activity with refreshments available, and guests are always welcome. Any kind of book – fiction or nonfiction – is eligible for consideration. Participants are responsible for suggesting and selecting titles for each of the next three months ahead. The group meets on the second Sunday of every month at 5:00 PM in the church lounge.
Our choices for the year just past included serious historic fiction, lighter current fiction and best-sellers, murder mysteries, and one contemporary classic. Once a title has been selected, information about the author and title is made available to the individuals who are currently on the e-mail notification list. Typically, there are three notices or reminders sent every month to members. Non-members are always welcome, and information about our meetings is regularly posted in the church bulletin and the E-Dove.
An (almost!) complete list of all of the 200+ books the group has read since the group was initially organized in 2000 is readily available on request.
