Beyond the Book:

Hosted by Dunbarton Congregational Church

Beyond the Book consists of readers of varied ages and religious backgrounds. We read one book a month throughout the year and gather for an insightful discussion on each, welcoming all points of view and respecting everyone’s input.

All Are Welcome

We get together on the first Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm either in person, at our vestry or via Zoom. Check the DCC Newsletter or Facebook page for current meeting information, or contact Barb Bennett at bbennett@dunbartonucc.org

 
Any questions and for the Zoom link, please feel free to email Barb.  
We hope to see you on Zoom!!
