We are a very casual group - some people come every time, and others are more intermittent. Usually there are a few people who haven't finished the book, still enjoying the discussion and fellowship (so no pressure - just come!).

There is no expectation to attend JCC to participate in this group! About 3 or 4 times a year, Cindy recommends a book, or someone else will suggest a title that we all agree on. Although there is usually a spiritual theme, the books are not necessarily "Christian".

We all contribute to a pot luck dinner and enjoy a glass of wine while a lively discussion and laughter ensue.

Some of the books we've read recently include:

• The Map of Salt and Stars - Jennifer Zeynab Joukhadar
• Same Kind of Different as Me - Ron Hall Denver Moor
• Born a Crime - Trevor Noah
• A Million Miles in a Thousand Years - David Miller
• The Red Tent - Anita Diamant
