St. Croix United Book Club
St. Croix United Book Club is open to the wider community!
We read theologically progressive books by diverse authors.
Calling all readers! Watch for upcoming dates and books here!
In this polarized and often contentious political season, you are invited to join our book club reading of Jim Wallis' The False White Gospel. We hope to deepen our understanding of Christian Nationalism and learn ways to combat its message.
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 there are e-book copies available at the Washington County Library.
The book will be divided into sections and discussed on three Thursday evenings.
Join us Thursday evenings, August 29, September 12 & 26 at 6:30pm at St. Croix United Church or via Zoom. (email Megan to receive the Zoom link at [email protected])
