Book Club

The Book Group at St. Ann’s is ready to expand. The current group is at an ideal size, so it may be time to start a second group soon. If you would be interested in leading or attending a second Book Group, please contact Rev. Conley.

In 2011 our St. Ann’s Book Group typically included about 8-10 members each month, which is a near-ideal size for a stimulating, inclusive discussion and general connectedness.

At our December meeting we tried to identify our “favorite” book of 2011.  We finally decided we couldn’t reach a consensus – – about five different books were nominated.  Obviously, we thought it was a good list.

 

Here it is, so you can decide what you might like to read:
