Next Book Club THIS Thurs. Jan. 3 @ 7pm

Baby, It’s Cold Outside--how true! Did you enjoy Susan May Warren’s Christmas story? Come join us on Thursday evening, January 3 at 7 pm in the Fellowship Hall at SSEFC to discuss this book and share some of your own memories of Christmas celebrations.

Before you come to Book Club on the 3rd, don’t forget to grab a book that you enjoyed, but no longer want on your bookshelf. Then wrap it up and bring it for a gift book exchange! Keep it a secret as to who the book is from. Our church library is also contributing some books for this exchange so there will be extras for any guests that you bring. So please invite some friends and both of you will go home with another story to read!

Kathy Maiers volunteered to bring refreshments to Book Club on the 3rd. Send Kathy an email at katydids59@yahoo.com if you would like to contribute. As always, contact Sharon at bookclub@ssefc.org if you have any questions.

Happy Reading and Happy New Year! See you on the 3rd!

Next Book Club Thurs. Jan. 3 @ 7 pm

The next Book Club will meet Thursday, January 3 at 7 pm in the Fellowship Hall at SSEFC. We will discuss Baby, It’s Cold Outside by Susan May Warren. This is a cozy Christmas story set in Northern Minnesota in 1949. There are copies of the book in the SSEFC library and any of the local public libraries.

We will also be having a book exchange at this next meeting. Wrap up a book you have read and enjoyed, but don’t want to keep. Then we will have some fun exchanging stories!

Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas celebrating the birth of our Savior! See you at the next Book Club. Consider purchasing Baby, It’s Cold Outside for a friend and bring her along to the next Book Club. Contact Sharon at bookclub@ssefc.org with any questions.
