Do you enjoy reading? Looking for a place to learn, explore, stay motivated, and grow in your faith? Do you long for a community where dialogue and interaction is encouraged, and spiritual conversation is the agenda? This may be the place for you! And we’ve got a GREAT book to kickstart this brand new REACH BOOK CLUB!
