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, July 28th @ 3pm
