Following it inaugural meeting in October 2008, our Church Book Club/Reading Group met to review its first book on 11th November 2008. Click on the Book Club Reviews link on the left to view their comments on this and other books they have read.
All are welcome to attend and get a feel for
the group whether you have read the
current
book being studied or not. Please do join
them if you are interested. The
group meets
about every 5-6 weeks usually in a members’
house and each time someone
from the
group decides on the following book to read.
The aim is to have fun, enjoy reading,
sometimes outside of your comfort zone,
and
find out what others thought of the
books that have been considered. Even if you
cannot make the group you are welcome to read along with us and let us know your
thoughts.
This page provides details about the group's meetings and other books up for consideration as well as a link to the Book Reviews page.
