St. James is starting a new dinner group program in February. Modeled after the traditional "Dinner for 8" these groups are open to any adult over the age of 21, both couples and singles. Dinner groups will be comprised of 8 adults and will meet once per month, either on a Friday or Saturday night or Sunday afternoon.
Groups have several options:
1) Meet at someone's home each month. Each month someone in the group hosts the dinner. The host is responsible for the entree. Other members of the group bring the vegetables, salad, dessert, bread or other items recommended by the host.
2) Meet at an agreed upon restaurant each month.
3) A mixture of the above 2, decided by the group.
Groups will be assigned randomly to encourage meeting new people and allowing new members of St. James to feel welcome. Couples will be kept together in the same Dinner Group. Every 5-6 months groups will be reshuffled so that groups continue to change.
If interested in participating, please sign up on the bulletin boards in the office wing of the main building, call the church office at 752-6154 or email joyce@stjconnect.org. Indicate your choice of day (Friday, Saturday or Sunday) and preference for restaurant or cooking in someone's home.
