Book Club

Welcome to the Morning Star Book Club page!

If you love to read AND discuss what you're reading with others, we'd love to have you give the Morning Star Book Club a try! This Book Club is open to anyone high school aged or older, member or nonmember! 

Each year, we select (6) books to read and discuss throughout the calendar year. We then plan to meet on the first Tuesday of every other month at 5:30pm. We typically meet in the Fireside Room at Morning Star Lutheran Church. Each meeeting, a different member of our group will lead those who attend in discussion

There is no cost to participate in this book club (everyone will be expected to obtain a copy of the book on their own). We do ask that you bring food to share as many of us treat the snacks we share as our dinner for the evening ;) Please bring your own drinks.

If you have any questions about this club, please contact Steve Schultz by phone at (920) 659-2077 or by email at gardenmasterguy@aol.com. We'd love to have you (and anyone else you'd like to invite!) join us!
