Participants read a short piece of fiction every week, usually a short story and usually by a secular author, then discuss it from a Christian perspective. Presently, this group convenes on Zoom. If you would like to participate, please send your email address to Merry Toups at merryparis@yahoo.com or text (504) 352-9096.
