Book Club
Mary Newton - 1st Saturday, 8:30-10:30 am - members’ homes

Members take turns recommending several books to be read in upcoming months.  The selection for each month’s discussion is chosen by a vote of members.  Hostesses for the book club meetings provide breakfast or brunch snacks for the group.  Discussions are always lively – even when the group disagrees about the caliber of the book.

This is a project of Book Club members in which coffee, tea and chocolates are sold from a stand in a corner of the narthex.  Income from the sale goes directly to farmers in developing countries to assist them in receiving a fair price for their products.
