Women's Book Club | New Book: The Keeper of Happy Endings

Since its initial meeting in 2016, the Cross Point’s Women’s Book Club has had two primary goals: to meet to discuss a book and to perform service projects for our church and community members. Our ministry to those, who because of age or other health issues, are unable to attend church involves sending monthly cards and gifts at Christmas. Past activities have focused on the Sparrow’s Nest (which is a part of Brian’s Safe House Ministry), Care boxes, and donations to various projects within the church. Most recently our group began working with the Fruits of Labor Recovery program by providing items that were needed by their participants such as devotional books and diapers for the babies whose mothers are enrolled in the program. On March 31, 2025, our group was invited by Fruits of Labor staff to a Brunch to honor those individuals who have and are providing support to the individuals enrolled in their program. Twelve of our club members were able to attend the Brunch. Not only did we enjoy a delicious meal, but each of us also received flowers that had been arranged in a mug or small vase. Most importantly, our hearts were touched and we were inspired by the dedication of staff of Fruits of Labor to providing a Christian based recovery program which focuses on strengthening the participants’ relationship with God while assisting them to acquire a new career path.

 The Cross Point Church’s Women’s Book Club will meet on Tuesday, May 20, at 10:30 A.M. in the church conference room. Our book club discussion will focus on the book “The Keeper of Happy Endings.” The author, Barbara Davis, writes about an unlikely friendship that develops between two women who later discover that their lives have eerie parallels. The author reminds us that “broken dreams” sometimes can be mended. All women are invited to join the book club gathering. Books are provided free of charge to any woman wishing to participate and can be picked up in the church office.
