Sharing a meal is one of the best ways to establish and renew relationships with one another. Dine with Nine is a simple gathering with nine (or so) persons – some couples, some singles, some church members and some friends, some new to the church and some life-long members, some older and some younger – for a series of meals at a time convenient to each group.
WHAT:
Nine (or so) people who get to know one another better and meet new people.
WHEN:
Dinners are held monthly June through August with sign ups occurring in April. Each group of nine, led by a host, determines when and how the dinners will take place.
WHY:
Our church vision is to be a family of faith. Families eat together, know each other, and grow in relationship. In faith, we gather each Sunday around a sacred table to receive God’s nourishing love. Dine with Nine extends that spiritual table into homes where God’s love is received in new relationships, deeper connection, and a shared meal.
HOW:
1. Sign up to participate or to host.
2. A coordinating team divides participants into groups of nine (or so).
3. A host household is selected for each group.
4. The host calls the people on their list in advance and invites them to share a meal.
5. The host provides the place and coordinates with the group members to bring the food.
