Looking to read interesting books while meeting new people? Join us for brunch once a month in the Montgomery County area to discuss a different genre of books.

We will also plan get-togethers throughout the month: happy hours, dinners, movies, and …

This is a group for women over 40 who are interested in meeting and discussing a book of the month over a cup of coffee, glass of wine or a beer. This is a time for us to have a short break from our husbands, kids, pets, and all responsibilities--some "me" time to have enjoyable discussions about the book we've read as a group. I'm more interested in meeting out, but if others prefer, we can also meet at each others' homes (but that's more work!).

Meet kindred book lovers in a stimulating, coed book club!

The age range of the group is between the late twenties to the late 40s and one must fill out the form (I know it's a pain) and be selected by the group to join. We meet on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. …

Like that old, soulful U2 rock anthem, do you sometimes find yourself singing "I still haven't found what I'm looking for," and somehow the song's sentiment connects with your spiritual journey?  Perhaps you feel emotionally distant from the Christian spirituality and Sunday worship you grew up with.  Curious to find out why you’re having these feelings/thoughts/disconnect?  But more importantly, curious if there is a better way to think about, experiment with, and practice faith in the 21st Cen …

Based on the writing workshop model, we will meet at a cozy spot to discuss and dissect some great contemporary short stories by published authors.

Then we’ll drink a beer or a coffee or something, and have a few laughs.
