Riotous Readers

Book Club

Not currently active due to pandemic.

Old First Church hosts a book club called Riotous Readers which meets nine times a year, typically the third Sunday of the month from 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm in Fellowship Hall. 

        The book club is open to all in the community. Books are selected by book club members in a round robin fashion. The Middletown Public Library supports Riotous Readers by trying to make the selected books available to all members. Membership in Riotous Readers is open to anyone who has a good sense of humor, likes to read, enjoys a thought provoking and often raucous book discussion.

For more information please email marywpearson@gmail.com. She can provide the precise schedule as well as the book selections and answer any questions you may have.

God has told you, O mortal, what is good;

and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
