4. Fellowship Fridays - Starts Oct. 23rd
|
This fall, Welcome Wednesday dinners become Fellowship Fridays. The day was changed to make it possible to start the dinners at 6:00 rather than 5:30 so that people coming from work would be able to participate more easily. Next Friday, October 23rd, will be the first dinner. Skip cooking on Friday evenings and enjoy dinner with your church friends.
Find out more this Sunday and sign up after Worship to bring one item that doesn't require preparation.
