Country Road Book Club

A book group consisting of participants from Trinity, St. Mary’s Whitechapel (SMWC) and the larger community started more than 20 years ago. This group differs from most book clubs in that there is no leader, the entire group decides which book to read, and only one chapter a week is discussed, although there have been times when we have needed two weeks to discuss a chapter. Many side discussions occur from the words, sentences, or experiences that the chapter evokes. We truly do take our time traveling through the book and enjoying the scenery along the way.

If you never joined a book group because you didn’t have time to read the entire book, try our group. You only have to read a chapter a week.

Before COVID, we met in the SMWC parish hall, and now we meet via Zoom. You don’t need to belong to either church or be an Episcopalian; we only ask that you respect the opinions of others.

We are taking a break right now but plan to re-convene on Zoom on Wednesday, September 27th, at 1 p.m. The book we will be discussing is “Speaking of Sin” by Barbara Brown Taylor. We will discuss the Introduction on September 27. Come check us out. If you are interested in attending the first meeting, contact the office to receive the Zoom link.
