New Name…Same Good Reading

The Book Group founded by former pastor Kathy continues with a new name. We are now Chatter Books (or Chatter Boox - spelling to be determined at our next meeting). Chatter Books is open to anyone interested in books in general or the specific book of the month.

We meet on the first Wednesday of the month at 10 a.m. We have been meeting in the Fellowship Hall but that is subject to change. Should it change we will post a sign on the office window.

Our next book is Facing the Mountain by Daniel James Brown, writer of the well received book The Boys in the Boat.

Facing the Mountain is an unforgettable chronicle of war-time America and the battlefields of Europe. Based on Daniel James Brown's extensive interviews with the families of the protagonists as well as deep archival research, it portrays the kaleidoscopic journey of four Japanese-American families and their sons, who volunteered for 442nd Regimental Combat Team and were deployed to France, Germany, and Italy, where they were asked to do the near impossible.

Join us for a lively discussion and a deep dive into the book on October 5th.
