The Tuesday Group meets via Zoom on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 10:00 AM. We are reading Leaving Church by Barbara Brown Taylor. We read our books together, discuss them and share our lives as it relates to them.
If you are interested in joining, contact Kathy Oldham at jkoldham@sbcglobal.net. You do not need to have the book to participate.
Wednesday Movie Night - Please join us for Movie Night Discussion Wednesday, June 16th at 6:30 after watching the film on your own. Schindler’s List is such a complex film with much to discuss. Some possible topics might include:
Why did such a flawed person, Oscar Schindler, turn out to be so good?
What motivated Oscar to provide safety for his Jewish workers?
Oscar encourages the Commandant to be kinder. Oscar says the person who can pardon someone has greater power. The Commandant pardons the person who was smoking then the boy who cleaned his tub. Soon after he shot the boy. Why?
When have you stood up (or not) in the face of adversity? Why or why not?
Please feel free to bring your own questions about the film.

Sunday Evening Book Group
The next Sunday Book Group choice is The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich. “Based on the extraordinary life of National Book Award-winning author Louise Erdrich’s grandfather who worked as a night watchman and carried the fight against Native dispossession from rural North Dakota all the way to Washington, D.C., this powerful novel explores themes of love and death with lightness and gravity and unfolds with the elegant prose, sly humor, and depth of feeling of a master craftsman.” (Goodreads.com)
We will meet August 8 at 7:00 PM.
