The Emerson Book Group meets the last Monday of the month at 7 PM. Anyone is welcome, so please feel free to join us! You don't need to be a church member to participate. Reading the book is not mandatory. Meetings are usually held at the host/hostess's home unless otherwise noted. We share the cost of ordering a pizza. If you want to be a host at your home or Emerson, please contact Donna Stephenson.
