Dinner For Eight
Dinner for Eight is a monthly potluck gathering which enables many small groups of adult parishioners to meet in an informal social setting.  We meet once a month on the third Saturday evening, in a parishioner-host’s home. Dinner group members rotate so that participants meet many different parishioners over time. Our hope is to encourage and nurture personal relationships across the parish.
