Book Clubs

The two groups that have been meeting as the “book club” have decided to read different books. So we'll have weekly discussions on each book on different days. Drop in on one or both whenever they look interesting. But I will tell you this: even if something doesn’t seem that interesting to you, I bet the discussion will be! 

We currently have two book clubs: 

• Thursday evenings, beginning October 24 at 6:30pm at the Oak Table, we will be meeting to discuss “Mere Christianity” by C. S. Lewis. During WWII, the BBC asked C.S. Lewis to give a series of radio talks describing the basics of Christianity. “Mere Christianity” is a transcript of those talks, edited to read appropriately as a book. It’s a great book and I hope you will join our book discussion. 
• Friday morning, December 6 at 10:00am in the Library. The group decided to read something to help them understand LGBTQ+ issues. Specifically, we will be reading something about the intersection of the homosexual orientation and the Christian faith. The book chosen for this discussion is “God and the Gay Christian" by Matthew Vines.

I think both of these book discussions are fantastic. The scriptures tell us “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:27) I have been encouraged and challenged by people’s thoughts and reflections as we have discussed previous books. I am thrilled for the opportunity to read and discuss all the books above! 

Remember, you don’t have to choose one or the other. If you want to come to both book discussions, we’d love to see you there!
