The USH Book Club meets from 2:30 – 4 PM on the 2nd Thursday of each month, September through June, on Zoom.  If you would like to participate in a discussion of the book and related issues, please contact Ginny Allen at fiddlenurse1@gmail.com.  An email with the Zoom link will be sent to you several days before the meeting.

The goals of the USH Book Club are: 

• to foster communication and community, as do our other small church groups, and
• to read fiction and non-fiction that represents a variety of styles, eras and genres.

Format:

We begin with a period of check-in.  Each meeting has a designated leader who guides the discussion, initially giving each participant an opportunity to share his/her thoughts on the book.  This is then followed by a full group discussion.  We end each meeting with members sharing the titles of books, movies or TV shows that they would like to recommend to others.
