St. Matthew’s Book Club is open to all interested readers and meets monthly in the Church library or Classroom C on the third Thursday of the month. Our reading selections offer a way to explore books through fellowship and discussion and are led by a different parishioner each month.  Our discussions are lively and have been thought provoking and enlightening. We also celebrated our 100th Book in October ‘22!

Contact Holly Weise (609-737-1064) for more information or suggestions.

All are welcome!

May 8th @ 10am
War Horse by Michael Morpurgo

Sally Barber has graciously agreed to host the May 8th discussion of War Horse at her farm. What better place to discuss this book or any book for that matter!

War Horse is a very touching read that takes you into the depths of World War I in the final days of the Cavalry. Morpurgo has done a very good job writing a story from a very different point of view than normal yet making it a very enthralling story, more so than usual because you are shown the perspectives of many of the different characters. Although this is a young adult book it is suitable for all ages, especially those who have a love for horses.

Be Ready When Luck Happens by Ina Garten.  

New York Times Review: In this memoir, however, she shows how much luck and labor it took to achieve the success that she clearly enjoys.
