Join us for our bi-monthly book discussion following the 10:30 a.m. service. The February book is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. A sign-up sheet is be posted in the hallway so we can plan for light refreshments.
“The Great Gatsby is an intricately crafted novel that depicts the happenings in America’s Jazz Age. I consider this novel as one of the classic stories I’ve read. With its decades of existence, I still find it captivating to re-read the book and relive F. Scott Fitzgerald’s telling on the conception of love, affluence and societal class.”
– The Good Novel
