Now is the time to sign up. 
Want to get to know more people in our church? 
Join the new groupings for Tables of Eight. 
Meet with other couples or singles in groups of eight for dinner and fellowship. 
You may choose to belong to a group that meets at your homes or a group that eats out.

It is time again to sign up for the next grouping for Tables of Eight.

 

New Tables of Eight will be formed at the end of July and will meet once a month until November. 
Sign up sheets will be in the Narthex.  Don’t miss this new opportunity.

Sign up sheets are in the Narthex or call the Church Office.

 
Tables of Eight is a series of dinner gatherings held in the homes of church members.  The dinners rotate among different groupings of eight people to met and enjoy the company of as many of the congregation as possible.  Is there someone in our church whom you admire, but have not had the opportunity to get to know?  Here's your chance to spend an evening making new friends and getting to know them on a deeper level.
 
The dinners should be simple, and your group can decide whether you each want to host the group and provide the entire meal, if you want to prepare the entree and have attendees bring a dish to complete the meal, or if you just want to make each occasion a pot luck.  The group may also want to eat out.  The object here is not the meal so much as the fellowship!
 
There will be four couples in each group, and a different couple will host the dinner each month.  At the end of four months, you will all be assigned to a new group, and the fun continues.  Singles are also welcome to sign up!  We can make up groups that are varied and include everyone. 
 
If you would like to participate in this activity, please call the church office with the following information:
 
    (1)  Your name, phone #, and email address
   (2)  Are you single or a couple?
   (3)  Do you want to eat in homes or at restaurants?
