Open Book Club is a group of people from Open Worship and First United Methodist Church of Denton who cares deeply about people, justice, and seek to find truth in literature. We are currently reading with our co-facilitators, Pamela Sanders and Krystal Stroud, and meeting on Zoom. You don't need any qualifications to be part of this group, just an open mind and a love of stories. We meet every other week to discuss what we've read and how it's impacted us. May we be transformed by these stories together!

Our next book will be One Night in Georgia by Celeste O. Norfleet—a provocative and devastating novel of individual lives caught in the grips of violent history. Here’s a little about the book:

At the end of a sweltering summer shaped by the tragic assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bobby Kennedy, race riots, political protests, and the birth of Black power, three coeds from New York City—Zelda Livingston, Veronica Cook, and Daphne Brooks—pack into Veronica’s new Ford Fairlane convertible, bound for Atlanta and their last year at Spelman College. It is the beginning a journey that will change their lives irrevocably.

We will discuss this novel over two gatherings, Monday nights May 2 and May 16 at 8 pm to discuss on Zoom. At the first meeting, we'll be discussing pages 3-156. We look forward to gathering with you! Join our Facebook group to access Zoom links.
