Book Group

2022-2023 Calendar Our Year of Reading Dangerously


The Book Group meets on the first Thursday of the Month from 7:00 to 8:30 pm, with a gap in

summer and in December. All members and friends are welcome to join us. We will conduct

our meetings via Zoom. Each year, we choose a variety of genres and forms. This Church Year all our selections are in response to book banning across the United States. You are welcome to come even if you have not finished the book.
