Biography Book Club |
|
The next meeting of the Biography Book Club will be
TUESDAY, September 16, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. in the church library. The
book to be discussed is My Grandfather’s Son: A Memoir by Clarence Thomas.
This book has been very favorably reviewed and is a fascinating memoir of
how the current Supreme Court justice overcame his abject poverty to rise to
his current heights with the help of his maternal grandfather.
All are welcome to join this discussion, even if this
is the only meeting you wish to attend. Please call Don McNiel
(649-6752) for more information. |

Thursday Morning Book Group |
|
The June selection for the Thursday Morning Book Group
is Eva LaPlante’s biography of her ancestor Samuel Sewall—Salem Witch
Judge. This is an extension of the May 19 Biography Reading Group’s
May selection. (It is NOT a prerequisite to have attended the May 19
session)
"Men think ‘tis a disgrace to change their mind…But there
is not a greater piece of folly than not give place to right reason"—Samuel
Sewall, January, 1689. Our country was not even a country in 1689. Men (and
families) left England to find freedom, but naturally brought what they knew
with them. Our Congregational (UCC) ancestors were in leadership positions
and spoke out for what they believed to be God’s will.
Come and explore the world of pre-Revolutionary America
through the diaries of Samuel Sewall and the research of Eva La Plante,
Samuel’s sixth great grand-daughter.
The Thursday Book Group meets from 9:30-11:00 a.m. in the
church library. All are welcome. Come for one, several or all of the
sessions. Questions: please call Flo Fisher (633-8005).
