Women’s Book Club

Please Note: Summit Drive Ladies Book Clubs do not take place at the church. Each group meets in a location of their own choosing. 

The Summit Drive Church Ladies Book Club meets in small groups (5-10 people) around the city to discuss how our Christian faith relates to good literature and other aspects of life. We strive to choose books that challenge our thinking, encourage us in our faith and stimulate discussion. We aim for three fiction and three nonfiction choices and try to include one Canadian author.  Each group decides where and when they meet and which books they would like to read (3-6 titles). The books are purchased and then each set is rotated among the groups throughout the year. The fee to participate is $25, and each participant receives two books of choice to keep at the end of the year.
