February Book Club
2026-02-09 19:00 - 20:30
Life in Five Senses
Mondays in February · 7–8pm · Relaxed · Interactive · No-pressure
We’re so excited to invite you to our next Book Club pick, Life in Five Senses by Gretchen Rubin.
In this beautiful and thought-provoking book, Rubin invites us to slow down and rediscover everyday joy by fully engaging our five senses—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Through gentle reflection, practical ideas, and relatable stories, she reminds us that happiness isn’t always found in big life changes, but often in the small, sensory moments we rush past each day.
This book club is less about keeping up and more about connecting—with the book, with one another, and with the simple pleasures woven into our daily lives.
When: Starting February 9th
Time: Mondays at 7:00 PM
Duration: 3 Weeks
All are welcome! Even if you don’t finish the reading (or don’t read at all), you’re still invited to join the conversation. Come as you are, listen in, share when you feel led, and enjoy a cozy, encouraging space together.
We hope you’ll join us for these meaningful evenings of reflection, discussion, and community.
