Better World Book Club selects and discusses socially meaningful non-fiction books that expand hearts and minds. 

The book club meets every other month - six times a year - and welcomes all. Our club includes members from the community who are not members of this church

and many who are members of other churches. 

The church  has created a special bookshelf of the books read by the

Better World Book Club. Anyone is welcome to sign out a book by coming to the church. 

Next book club meeting : 

Monday, October 6th @ 3pm

for a discussion about

"Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet" by Hannah Ritchie

This "eye-opening and essential" book (Bill Gates) explains how we can solve our biggest environmental problems. It combines data-driven insights with practical solutions to address issues like climate change, deforestation, and pollution

Join us for a most enjoyable and profound exchange. Everyone is welcome.
