OFC Book Club meets at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. every few months. Pastor Andy lists the selection and the meeting dates in Announcements. You can attend either session and you do not have to sign up ahead -- just come! The Club usually meets for about an hour in the Fiske Room.
Each person gets their own copy of the book to read. Sometimes the book is available through the Suffolk Library System. If you purchase the book, you are welcome to donate your copy to the EWS Library after it is discussed.
For more information on the OFC Book Club, email Pastor Andy.
