Book Clubs
Every week, groups of parishioners meet in each other’s homes for an hour or two of friendship and study.
Monday Evening Book Club
The tea water is hot, the keurig is ready, and someone usually brings cookies.
We spend our first 20-30 minutes just connecting with each other: talking about what’s going on in our lives and in the world, and sharing prayer requests. Then we read aloud from our book of choice, following with reflection questions. To close, we read Compline together.
As for our choice of books, we decide as a group what we want to read next. There’s no homework required: all the reading takes place when we get together, a chapter or so at a time. Usually our selections focus on contemporary Christian life, with titles like Crazy Christians or Backpacking through the Anglican Communion. (We’re always open to suggestions.) Sometimes we read scriptures and commentaries as well.

Thursday Morning Book Club
Every Thursday at 10:30am, we meet in each other’s homes for a book study. We spend the first half hour sharing what’s going on in each others’ lives; then we take turns reading aloud, pausing to discuss as we go along.
We pick the books we read as a group. No homework required: all the reading takes place when we get together, a chapter or so at a time.
Call Phyllis Mix on Wednesday mornings at the church office at (541) 757-6647, or send her an email.
