On the first Thursday of every other month members of the DPC community get together to discuss a shared text. If you would like to join these conversations, email events@dpchurch.com to request more information.
Most recently, the group discussed “The Devil’s Element: Phosphorus and a World Out of Balance by Dan Egan.
Previous Text Selections:
The DPC church family is a diverse group of people with equally diverse interests and hobbies. This is reflected in the eclectic texts chosen for discussion. The first title selected for our DPC book group was Religions and Extraterrestrial Life by Vanderbilt astronomer David Weintraub. The titles selected since then have been equally interesting, thought-provoking, and conversation-starting.
