Meeting Notes
Sunday Night Big Book is a one-hour, open meeting at St. James (first floor). Each week, we read aloud (round-robin style) for ten minutes, then hold an open discussion on what we have read. We read the Big Book from prefaces through Dr. Bob's Story; when we have done, we start again, finding fresh information and inspiration at each pass. Thoughtful, solution-oriented and friendly.
