Tables & Tablets of Eight
Tables & Tablets of Eight
2020 - 2021
One of the many casualties in this time of Coronavirus has been community, a gift it is so easy to take for granted. This has especially been true of our faith community. For the first time in our lifetimes we can’t gather face to face each week. And while our ability to join in online worship is certainly something to be grateful for, it is not the same a having a chance to connect in person, or even connect face to face online. And this gift of community is important; its where we share support, encouragement, thanksgiving, challenges, needs, and prayer. God is present in these friendships, and we are blessed. I am finding the gift of our community to be more appreciated and important than ever!
Immanuel’s Tables of 8 fellowship provides that gift of community.
This fall we are expanding our Tables of Eight program by offering two options:
1) Traditional TABLES of Eight
For people are willing and able to meet safely in person, we have Traditional Tables of Eight with 4 dinner menus (we have ideas and suggestions on how you can meet as safely as possible).
2) TABLETS of Eight
For those more comfortable with virtual meetings, we now have Tablets of Eight (see what we did there, tablets instead of tables?). This will consist of small groups who meet through Zoom once a month for 4 months. Think of it as a virtual Happy Hour, or Dessert & Coffee hour if that suits you better. We will assign a lead person for each group to help start Zoom meetings. If you are interested in helping facilitate one of these groups please let us know.
You can register for Tables of 8, or Tablets of 8, below, or simply call the church office at 952-937-8123 and speak with MaryKay or Terrie.
