St. Paul’s Book Club is not meeting at this time because of Covid-19.  Information will be posted when meetings will be resumed.   

St. Paul’s Book Club has been meeting since January 1998 and is for members and friends of St. Paul’s who are interested in reading books and would enjoy joining in group discussions.  The Book Club meets around noon on the third Wednesday of each month after Bible Study with the exception of December and over the summer.    The more we have the better the discussion. 

Members of the Book Club suggest a selection for the next month.  Selections include: old and new, religious books, secular books, a classic now and then,  a wide range of topics.  Amazingly, often the selections tie in perfectly with topics being discussed at Bible Study. There are so many good books written about worthwhile topics!
