FPC Book Club
The FPC Book Club is an excellent opportunity for church members who enjoy reading to connect over shared literary interests. Participants read and discuss books, which may include Christian literature, inspirational works, fiction, or non-fiction that align with the values and themes of the church. The book club fosters a sense of intellectual and spiritual growth while building strong bonds among members through meaningful discussions.
The FPC Book Club meets monthly on the second Thursday of the month at 2:00 PM in the Parlor Room. This group selects books based on member interests and recommendations. Check here for current and past reading selections.
Book Selections
About the Current Book Selection:
The book selection for December is Messenger Boys by Steve Carr. The author is the great-nephew of the two brothers, Charlie (18) and Sherman (16), who in 1915 with their best friend (18), rode their bicycles cross country from Indianapolis, Indiana to the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. This was at a time when there were no roads connecting cities as we have today. They supported themselves by working as messenger boys delivering messages for telegraph companies and by selling post cards of themselves. The author used the actual letters and post cards the boys sent back home to write his account of their adventure. This is a story of ambition, determination, and teenage dreams of doing something big in one's lifetime.
