Holy Grounds Coffee Hour
Sundays from 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., fresh brewed fair trade coffee is served in the Gathering Area between the sanctuary and Fellowship Hall. Follow the aroma and lively conversation.
Dinner for Six, Seven or Eight – Dinners are hosted in various church members’ homes for an opportunity to meet and form friendships with those you may not know. Guests bring a dish to share. Couples and singles are welcome. If you would like to participate but are not available on the scheduled date, that’s OK. We will add you to the list and let you know when the next one will be. Hosts as well as guests will rotate, so you will have the opportunity to meet new people at each dinner, plus reconnect with those you may already know. The dinners are held about every 2-3 months and have been a tremendous success, so join us in this fantastic fellowship gathering. Contact Lesley Covington at rogerleslie@comcast.net (540)303-3838 or Diane Sinclair at dsinclair1265@gmail.com (540)667-2955 if you haven’t already signed up to participate in this small group gathering. The next Dinner for Six, Seven or Eight will be held in the fall.
