"The GOOD BOOK Club"
KUMC  Book Discussion Group

All are invited to join the Good Book Club for some thought provoking discussions on any variety of books.  We meet the 3rd Thursday of every month at 7:00 PM.
At times we may need to adjust the meeting place for the discussion group.  Please check the newsletter or the weekly bulletin for any changes.  Email the church office (kumcoffice32@gmail.com) or Cindy Turner at  turnercindy@yahoo.com for more information.
