Next Book Club
We will be meeting on Mondays, starting September 12 at 7pm at Teri Blanchette’s house. Next book is “The Ability to Endure” by Michael Chitwood. "This book is about pain and loss and heartache. It's about being at the end of yourself-losing faith in anything and everything, and then finding hope in the strangest of places. And it's about wanting God to make life easier, and instead he give your the ability to endure."
