Parish Book Club

Parish Book Club

The purpose of the Parish Book Club is to build community through the shared experience of great stories – and we do just that on the second Wednesday of most months.  We start with a social half hour at 6 pm and then a 6:30-8 pm facilitated discussion of the monthly book selection.  We meet in the Arc* (on the north side of 45th Street across from the parking lot).   Everyone is welcome any time. Our books are chosen by surveying the group. We recommend joining our email group.  Please email Lucy Petermeier,  lpetermeier@comcast.net,  to join the email group.
