The Norway Grove Book Club reads a variety of books based on participant interest. Book club selections tend to focus on inspirational non-fiction books.
Our club meets once a month, typically the third or fourth Wednesday of the month, at 6:30 p.m. at the fellowship room at the back of the church.
We have lively, heartfelt discussions and much laughter! We’d love to have you join us.

| 10/15/25 | Little Faith by Nickolas Butler | Set in rural Wisconsin, Little Faith follows Lyle Hovde, an aging father whose adult daughter falls under the sway of a charismatic preacher.

The voice belongs to Grazina, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia, who convinces him to take another path.
