Dinners are scheduled by each group, according to that group's schedule with the goal of gathering several times a year. Contact the church office if you are interested in participating in the fellowship ministry.

This group meets primarily on the 2nd Monday of each month (some activities may require an alternate time due to the nature of the activity).
