Facilitator: Cheryl Jurrus

Meeting time: Wednesdays | 10:00 am – 11:30 am | Room 212 (Library) AND via Zoom
All women are welcome to W.E.B.S. (Women’s Early Book Study)!
W.E.B.S. is centered on Christian Fellowship: Christ-centered devotions and prayer, sharing our experiences and ideas, learning about our world and ourselves, exploring our faith, and having fun together.
All participants are encouraged to present devotions and lead the discussions. We study books by examining the author’s background, locale of the book (maps), historical and political context, and statements about faith. We relate what we read to our own experiences and look for God’s work in our world and our lives. We invite guest speakers and go on trips to see some places first-hand. We pray, discuss, share, laugh, and have fun together!
Join in person or on Zoom. Contact Cheryl Jurrus or the church office to send the Zoom link.
We also have fellowship at picnics, dinners, lunches, garden tours, concerts, attend plays, and participate in service projects.
We typically have three book study/discussion sessions: fall, winter, and spring.
Contact Cheryl Jurrus for more information.
2025 Books
Winter 2025: January – February 2025 (exact dates to be determined)
The Faith Club by Suzanne Oliver, Priscilla Warner, Ranya Tabari Idliby
We have read this before, but we felt it is worth reading again “with new eyes”. Three women (Muslim, Christian, Jew) work together to write a children’s book about faith/tolerance. This was right after 9/11 when prejudice against Muslims was rampant.
Spring 2025: dates to be determined
A Wild and Heavenly Place by Robin Oliveira
It is about a family from Scotland who settled in the Newcastle area (south of Bellevue) when it was “wild and heavenly.” It is also about prejudice against “lower class” and immigrants.
