On Wednesday Night we gather to to connect, support, encourage and grow in faith together. Start with a low-cost dinner and then find an education or music opportunity. Staffed nursery care is available during dinner. Kids activities are available after their choir rehearsals so parents can participate in education and music.

Supper is served 5:15 - 6:15 p.m. (during school year programming)

You can get a hot, hearty and home cooked meal with dessert for you and your family. No need to cook of cleanup!

Suggested donation: $5/adult, $2.50/child 10 and under. Online donations available HERE.
As always, if this cost is a burden to you or your family, please accept it as a gift, gladly given.
Limited vegetarian options will be available with every meal.

Volunteers Needed! There are four teams that serve the meals once every 4 weeks and we need people on the pasta team. Training is available as well as help with first serving evening.
