it is certainly okay to attend here and there, as your schedule allows. If you would like to join on Zoom or have questions,
​please

​"fellowship, friendship, and faith formation as we flip through pages of fact & fiction!"

Spirit of Love Conversations Book Group
Faith-based book club meets each Tuesday at 1:00pm on Zoom. 
Group Contact: Diane Baker


The Spirit of Love Conversations Book Group is currently discussing "Blessed Are The Women" by Claire K. McKeever-Burgett. ​The group goes chapter-by-chapter each Tuesday on Zoom at 1pm.  Each week is self-contained so it's certainly okay if you can't make it for each meeting or would like to jump in here or there. Anyone in the group has the opportunity to take a turn leading the weekly discussion, but this is not a requirement for participation. 

The Tuesday morning book club will be reading "We Survived the End of the World" by Steven Charleston.
