St. Timothy's
BOOK CLUB
This is not your ordinary Book Club.
There is no need to read ahead, and trying to pretend you have done your "homework" if you didn't find time to read the book.
We read together - outloud - each week.
We stop for conversation when someone has a question, comment, funny antidote, concern etc.
Sometimes we read a whole chapter in a session.
Sometimes we only get through 4 pages.
It is a time of fellowship and lively discussion.
Monday afternoons from 1pm to 2:30(ish)pm on Zoom
