Mission / Purpose
To share a good book and encourage each other in our Christian journey and to promote reading and literacy and to promote and support the St. George Library.
All are invited to come. We have attendees from most of the area Orthodox Churches and some from outside the Orthodox Church. We have ordered books for some outside the geographical area and there are some locally who order the books we are reading for their own enjoyment.
The atmosphere is very warm and relaxed, the interaction is very open. Refreshments are served and there is plenty of social interaction.
