Fireside Dinners

The date for the Fireside Dinners this year will be Sunday, November 15th. The dinners provide a venue for getting to know members of the congregation in an informal setting. Please consider participating, the dinners are a lot of fun.

The Fireside Dinners follow a few simple rules. the dinners all take place on the same night, in this case November 15th from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. A certain number of congregation members offer to host a dinner in their home and to prepare a dinner entree (this could be something simple like a soup or salad meal). Once the number of interested participants has been determined, we assign 5-8 participants to each host. the host then contacts the participants to let them know the location of the dinner and asks the participants to bring something to contribute to the dinner (appetizer, bread, salad, vegetable, dessert). One last rule, no church business is to be discussed as the purpose of the dinners is to have time to learn more about individuals in our congregation and to have fun.

The dinners are open to all church members, visitors, college students, and youth group members. Everyone is encouraged to participate!

If you would like to participate, please fill out the form and return it to the church office no later than Wednesday, November 4th. You can also email or text the required information listed to Peg Wade at peg.wade@comcast.net 217-369-0474. There will also be forms available at the sign-up table in the parlor during October.
