Beginning September 16

We're inviting Sunday School classes, small groups, families, couples, and other ministries to sign up to provide one weekly meal for our church family.

• Each week will feature a different menu.
• Be creative and make the evening uniquely your own!
• Providing a meal is a wonderful way to serve, build relationships, and create a welcoming environment where our church family can connect and grow together.

We hope you'll join us around the table as we share a meal, strengthen our community, and make the most of every opportunity to encourage one another!

Following our 5:16 Fellowship Dinner, we'll break into a Bible study/small group time. We have something for everyone, including Kids (birth-5th grade) and for adult and youth. Adults and Youth can choose from classes focused on Moms, Men, Prayer, the Gospel of John, Nehemiah, and Mental Health.

Young adults are invited to stay afterward for Afterglow Fellowship with Rev. Jennifer Mullins. Whether you're new or have been attending for years, we hope you'll join us for an evening of food, fellowship, and spiritual growth!
