This lively and lovely group of ladies meets monthly on the third Thursday from 11:30am to 1:00pm.  We currently meet via Zoom but are looking this year to offer hybrid connections, so that some may stay connected at home via Zoom and others may gather at our church.  For our curriculum this year, we have decided to read a chapter a month in Hope – A User’s Manual, a book written by former BPC Associate Pastor Rev. MaryAnn McKibben Dana.…

Leaves of Grace is BPC’s book group, which gathers on Zoom once a month, usually on the third Sunday at 3:00pm. All are welcome! Bring a friend!
