BLOOD DRIVE – 9/29

We are hosting a Red Cross Blood Drive sponsored by Oasis Physical Therapy. Join this blood drive on Friday, September 29, from 10 AM to 3 PM in the MPR.

You may click here to register online for a time to donate. Donating blood is safe, quick and easy, and you can save up to 3 lives with just 1 blood donation! Giving blood saves 4.5 million lives each year in the US, yet fewer than 1 out of 10 people in the US donate.

Let’s roll up our sleeves and do our part!

CROSS REFERENCE BOOK CLUB – 9/30

The FBC Library, The Cross Reference, has a Book Club for everyone who reads and loves books – all are invited! In fact, bring your book-loving friends too. Sign up to join the Book Club Group in the App: Home>Connect>Groups or click here. We appreciate your RSVP so that we know how many are going to join us for this time of sharing and fellowship!

The Cross Reference Book Club book for September: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 
Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson‘s classic Gothic novella, originally published in 1886. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is about a London lawyer named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll and the evil Mr. Edward Hyde. Although the book had initially been published as a “shilling shocker,” The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was an immediate success and became one of Stevenson’s best-selling works.

This month we will also briefly review the August book: Maybe You Should Talk To Someone, so if you read that book, please bring it and your thoughts on it. If you didn’t read it, that’s ok! It’s always fun to hear others’ insights!

We look forward to hearing what you learned from your reading at our next meeting on Saturday, September 30 at 6:30 PM at the Cross Reference Library at FBC Richland (Room 301). Join the group and RSVP so that we know you’re participating. You can join the Group and RSVP in the App: Home>Connect>Groups or click here.

Come join us whether you’ve read the book or not – we welcome all discussion. We’re excited to see you then!
