At The DEN’s Book Club, reading goes beyond the page. Each gathering is filled with lively discussion, genuine fellowship, and treats inspired by the book itself.
From spaghetti cake to goat cheese, from grape juice to birthday cake, every item connects directly to details found in the story — turning moments on the page into something you can experience together.
The DEN's Book Club will meet again on Thursday, October 30, to finish this month's selection--Three Good Things by Lois Peterson. Counselor Tina Durrence will once again join us as we discuss this text that centers around mental health issues. All high school students are invited to join this group!
