Christian Classics Book Group
Our group meets Mondays at noon to discuss books on Christianity, religion, and spirituality. We are reading “Gilead”, the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Marilynne Robinson during the month of May. Copies of the book are available in the library and new members are always welcome! Bring a bag lunch; coffee and tea are served.

“Food for Thought Book Group”
Our book for May 3 will be “The Faith Club: A Muslin, A Christian, A Jew—Three Women Search for Understanding”, by Ranya Idliby, Suzanne Oliver and Priscilla Warner. A memoir written after September 11 as three women of different faiths and beliefs came together to explore similarities and differences to help themselves and their children better relate to others. Copies of the book are available in the library.

SAVE THE DATE: Sunday May 6 at 5:00 p.m.! The JPW Library and Beth Israel Synagogue are co-sponsoring a presentation by the three authors of “The Faith Club”. Please contact the library for more information and registration.

Soup & Psalms
This group meets from 6:00 to 7:00 PM every Tuesday from September to May. A basic meal of soup and bread is served and we pray psalms and briefly discuss them. We will go through the psalms sequentially.
