Schedule and Book Changes

Hello all!

You may have noticed a lack of posts the last couple of months; unfortunately my schedule has been running me about and the Book Club Blog was the juggling ball I dropped. However, I'm back with lots of important news.

Some of you may remember that we were originally planning to read Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love for November and that we were meeting on a Tuesday. NEITHER of these things is true anymore! I'm working out the kinks in using the Barrington Library Book Club in a Bag Kits and I was unable to obtain the Gilbert book set in a timely fashion so instead here is November's information:

Wednesday, November 28th at 7:30 pm in the Church Lounge we will discuss While I Was Gone by Sue Miller

Why Wednesday? Deacons and Session will both be meeting that Tuesday (not to mention choir!) and I still have class on Mondays. Good news though - my only class next semester is on Wednesday nights which will allow us to return to our regularly scheduled day and time starting in January 2008.

Due to the Christmas holidays and more fall schedule conflicts, our December meeting will be on a Wednesday as well:

Wednesday, December 19th at 7:30 in the Church Lounge we will discuss The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore

For more information on Sue Miller see the post directly below this one and watch this page for future updates with information on Christopher Moore.

Here's hoping everyone had an excellent Thanksgiving holiday!
