WHAT'S HAPPENING AT FIRST MENNONITE?

  • DINNER FOR EIGHT

    Get to know other people from our church family by sharing a meal with them! Sign up for “Dinner for Eight” by Sunday, March 1. Fill out a form in the foyer and leave your completed form in the basket. You can offer to host a dinner party, or simply attend one. You will be assigned to a group of eight and the host of the dinner will contact you to plan a date sometime in March or April. Eating a meal together offers a great chance to learn more about the people you worship with each week. Couples, singles, and singles again are encouraged to sign up. Please see Becky Bryan or Marcia Cressman if any questions.
