Book Club

Next Meeting: Sun 12th Oct, 2025 @ 10AM (UK)

The Young Christian Readers (YCR) Book Club runs every Sun from 10am – 11am (UK time), unless otherwise specified.

The club meets online and is led out by young readers and facilitated by an adult.  In the club, readers get the opportunity to practice and improve reading aloud as well as enhancing their comprehension skills as they share thoughts about the book being read. 

The Book Club caters for children between the ages of 7 to 15, but this age is just a guide as we have children who are younger than 7 taking part as they feel confident enough to read.

Please see our upcoming meetings below.

Note: Dates are subject to change but any changes will be communicated to registered members and also updated on this page.

(green = meeting; red = no meeting).
