2008-2009 PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN BOOK DISCUSSION GROUP LIST
Purpose:
As Christian women living in and not apart from our world, we in Presbyterian
Women hope to offer a safe environment for women to meet to discuss the
challenges and opportunities of life as presented in the book selected.
This book group, sponsored by Presbyterian Women, is open to every women in Highland's
congregation. The reviews are held on the fourth Wednesday of the month, from September to June, at 12:00 noon in the Hudson Room -
with two exceptions: November the group meets the third Wednesday due to
Thanksgiving and December when there is no meeting. Check the Sunday bulletin or in the office
for any changes in time or place. Books are reviewed either by a volunteer
facilitator or spontaneously by the group. It is hoped that each person
will be familiar with the book selected for that month. Each women may offer insights
and opinions from their personal experiences in a safe environment. Books for
the following year are chosen from suggestions of recommended books by those
attending the final meeting of the year. Books are chosen from a broad range of
subject matter. One classic is usually included on the list.
*The 2008-2009
list will be available July 15.
