Every few months, the Book Club meets to select the next five or six books to discuss. We will do this again on Thursday, June 13. Book Clubbers should nominate a book or two and then we will proceed via our usual voting system to select the books. It would be very helpful if you have a book to nominate that you write a synopsis or reasons why you think the book would be a good one to

discuss. Send it to John ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and he will pass it on to the others.

We should have, as usual, good food, good company and conversation about good books. Meet at the Coopers’ at six o’clock on the 13th.

Come enjoy the evening and contribute to our church’s ability to be a strong part of this community.
