Get Connected - Dinner Buddies

Dinners Buddies is a plan to help newcomers, old timers and inbetweeners get to know each other and form friendships. It is a fine way for parishioners to put names to faces, find common interests and backgrounds and get to know where other parishioners live.

Commitment: One gathering monthly for a six month period. Each group enjoys dinner together, rotating between homes and hosts. Perhaps they go to the theater or have a picnic. Each person contributes to the meal.
Financial Commitment: Providing a food dish for 6 to 10 once a month.
How many people involved now: Between 30 and 50 are involved at one time. Everyone is welcome to become part of a dinner group. There are opportunities to train for leadership in this ministry.

"I enjoy getting to know new people and helping them become active parishioners."
