- Collinsville club shares more than books
-
-
When I began my summer in Collinsville, I knew it would be one full of new and different experiences. One thing I wasn’t planning on was joining a book club, but I’m so glad I did. My invitation to join book club came the first week of being in town, and I was welcomed into a group of five women who met bi-weekly to talk books and catch up with each other.

- Group brings men of different faiths together
-

I was invited to join a Bible Study that meets every Wednesday at 6:30 a.m. by Tom Maddox, a member of the Church of Christ. This Bible study group is attended by a variety of members of the community, including factory workers and retired folks. The most unique thing is that they come from a variety of denominations, each with unique convictions on aspects of the Bible.
