Chapter & Verses Book Club
	Now that fall is approaching, it is time for us to meet as a book club once again. The next book is one of the others from our list compiled earlier in the year. We will be reading Must Love Flowers by Debbie Macomber, and we will meet on October 16 and 23 at 7 p.m. at Christ ELC to discuss the book. Debbie Macomber is well known as the author of many books including the Mrs. Miracle books, and she has written devotionals for Daily Guideposts for many years as well. Must Love Flowers is described as wise, warm, witty, and charmingly full of hope. It should prove to be a great read and food for wonderful discussion. Everyone is welcome to join us; we look forward to getting together once more!
