Faith & Spirit Book Club
Our book club is open to the wider community!
Expanding our Perspectives
Calling all readers! Watch for upcoming dates and books here!
"If gratitude is so good for us, why is it so hard? Grateful looks at a familiar spiritual practice in unexpected and provocative ways, including how gratitude is communal – and how it can contribute to healing our divides." Join us as we read Grateful: The Subversive Practice of Giving Thanks by Diana Butler Bass.
Our book club offers another way of being in community. Whether you've read the book or not, you're welcome to come and listen or join in the discussions. Copies are available at Valley Bookseller in Stillwater with a 15% discount and at Washington County Library.
Join us Oct 1st and Nov. 5th at 6:30 pm at St. Croix United Church or via Zoom. (email Megan to receive the Zoom link at office@stcroixunitedchurch.org)
