The Friday Morning Book Discussion Group

This group has been in existence since 1983. We discuss worthwhile fiction, both new and old. Each year has a theme such as first novels by famous authors, stories set in foreign places, characters struggling with adversity, etc. See our church newsletter for dates and selections each month. Come join us for an interesting exchange of ideas on the third Friday of each month. (Sept - June) at 10:30 am - noon in the Horsch Room.
