Come to the Table

Come to the Table is a great opportunity to spend an informal evening with other adults at a pot-luck event. Each month you will enjoy dinner in a different parishioner’s home with a new group of people, usually between 6 to 10 depending upon the host’s accommodations. We welcome all adults 21 and older, singles or couples, to join in the fun!
