This summer our teaching series is called “Dinner with Jesus.” We are going to spend time in the Gospel of Luke checking out events where Jesus had meals with people. Tables of Eight is an opportunity for couples/singles to share a meal with up to 7 other people in our church on 3 occasions over the course of the summer, once in June, July, and August. The emphasis of these gatherings is on fellowship and getting to know each other. This is a great way to be highly intentional about creating a community in our church!!!

When you sign up, you will be placed in a table group. Each group will have a coordinator who will initiate the conversation to schedule your first dinner. The dinner is provided by the whole group, with each person being assigned a different dish for each gathering: main dish, salad, dessert, side, and drinks. At the first gathering, each group will determine when and where to meet and what to eat. We want to give you some structure to begin with, but at the end of the day, we recognize that each group will discover what works best for them. There is no expectation of culinary perfection. It is perfectly okay to bring things purchased at a store. Similarly, if having people in your home is uncomfortable, then graciously take a pass.

What about adults with children? Our goal is to get adults to share fellowship together. It may be that each family lines up their own childcare. It may be that all the children stay in one home, and families with children pitch in to cover the cost. It might be that you grill out and have a pool party with children. As a group, you can explore the possibility if/when/how to provide care for any children. Click on this link to get in on the fun of enhancing our community!!!

The deadline to sign up is Sunday, June 8.
