The first book club she has ready to go will be led by Glenn Maciag and will be on the book *The Unfolding Mystery: Discovering Christ in the Old Testament* by Edmund Clowney. If you want to read more about the book, below is the link to the Amazon page about the book: http://www.amazon.com/Unfolding-Mystery-Discovering-Christ-Testament/dp/0875521746/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215696059&sr=8-1 This book club will meet one weeknight a month from September to June (doing one chapter a month). *If you are interested in attending, please let Glenn know what nights work for you (and perhaps more importantly, what nights don't!), since he will have to make a decision soon on when to schedule.* The hope is that there will be several book clubs operating this year. If you have suggestions for books you want to see discussed, please let Eve know. If you would like to lead a book club on a book of either Eve's suggestion or your own, please let Eve know. A book club doesn't have to be long-term. Perhaps you want to cover a book in only two or three meetings (or perhaps only one!). Perhaps you want to meet weekly, monthly, or on some other schedule. Perhaps you don't want to start one until later in the year. All of these options are perfectly okay. If you have any questions about Glenn's book club, please talk to him. If you have any questions on the book club initiative in general, please talk to Eve. In addition look for more upcoming initiatives from the Education and Program Committee. We are gearing up for what will be a fantastic program year. Join the action! Talk to Scott Maciag -- This service is provided by the Worship, Membership and Evangelism Committee.
