BOOK GROUP
The Book Group meets monthly throughout the year with about 12 active members gathering to discuss a book. Titles range from fiction to non-fiction, history and biography. They continue to discuss a book monthly and also have a monthly Coffee Chat meeting just to socialize together.
THE MEN’S BREAKFAST
The Men’s Breakfast occurs on the second Saturday of each month (minus July and August) with a core group of 18 – 20 men attending. The aim of the group is for the men to get to know one another better resulting in closer friendships. Breakfast is typically prepared by a pair of fellows according to a monthly rota. It is served at 8:30 and following breakfast, the group may have a get together in the Parlour to review different topics. Other times, one of the men may speak of his life and spiritual journey. The Men’s Breakfast group hosts an annual Mothers’ Day Breakfast before the 10am service and all women, whether they are mothers or not, are invited to attend. The men, many clad in tuxedos, serve the women a delicious breakfast and clean up afterwards – both much appreciated by the women. This group also provides the Starbucks coffee in the narthex before the 10am service.
THE DOWNTOWN “C” GROUP
This group meets monthly, as it has for some 25 years. There is normally a break between July and August. Beginning in September 2022, the plan is to meet in the Parlour of St. Timothy’s. Originally made up of interested businesspeople working downtown, most members are now retired. It is open to anyone interested. Featuring lively and loving debates over lunch, the members read a variety of books.
ROUND TABLE
The Round Table is an open group of 8 – 10 people who meet once a month to share their thoughts around a chosen book. They look for Progressive Christian authors whose books will kindle discussion to stimulated discussion of where each person is at in their faith journey and how church traditionally expresses this faith.
