MISSION STATEMENT
The Library Ministry encourages reading at all levels, to promote the gain and use of knowledge to grow spiritually and intellectually as thoughtful Disciples of Jesus Christ.
HISTORY
The Library Ministry was organized in 2006 by First Lady Eaddy to support the literary arts. Strengthening reading and writing skills has been the focus. Members donated books, videos, furniture and other supplies to resource the ministry. Two open houses were held; poetry, book report, and the other creative writing contests were showcased.
The annual First Lady’s Tea Party is celebrated each November as a medium to encourage fellowship with sisters in the broad community. In 2010, Senator Yvonne Miller was the speaker.
The library ministry also recognize those you perform with excellence during the school year.
Everyone is invited to read and attend the meetings the first Saturday of every month at 10 am, upstairs in the fellowship hall. We have read the following books: The Shack, “Just a Sister Away”, The Bluest Eye", “Letter to my daughter”, "12 Years A Slave" and "Coming Home", "Lost and Found" by Sara Jakes.
The tutoring program has four tutors to assist those individuals who need extra help in Math, Science, etc. It is held from September to June.
BOOK CLUB
Book club meetings are held other every month or bi-monthly. Our July reading was "The Other Wes Moore" by Wes Moore. We are currently reading "When I'm tempted" by Kim Cash Tate which is the third book in the "A Promises of God" series. We also read "Though I Stumble" and "If I believe" from the series. We will meet virtually on September 12th at 12:30 to discuss "When I'm tempted".. All discussions will be held via ZOOM until further notice. All are welcomed to join us.
