The Carter Memorial United Methodist Church welcomes the community to a weekly book group discussion every Thursday from 9:30-11:00 a.m.

This faith-based study features a wide range of titles which offer different Christian perspectives to include historical fiction and inspirational non-fiction. 

The group will begin a new study on Feb. 9, featuring "Dear and Glorious Physician" by Taylor Caldwell, which offers a close look at the brilliant mind and complex life of St. Luke, best known as the author of the Third Gospel in the New Testament. 

Visit www.carterumc.org for more information or drop in on a Thursday.   

The church is located at 800 Highland Ave. in Needham.
