What is Tables of 8? Tables of Eight is an opportunity for couples/singles to share a meal with up to 7 other members of the congregation quartertly. The emphasis of these gatherings is on fellowship so there’s not necessarily an accompanying bible study, nor is there an expectation of culinary perfection. Our goal is to “bridge a gap” or simply to get to know each other across age, stage, in or out of town, early or late service,…
How does it work? When you sign up, you will be placed in a table group. Each group will have a host who will initiate the conversation to schedule your first dinner date. The dinner is provided by the whole group with each person being assigned a different dish for each gathering: main dish, salad, dessert, side, and drinks. Groups will change every time so that we can get to know others.
How long do we meet? The length of each gathering typically lasts an hour or two. Every quarter each group will shuffle the deck, to shake it up, to mix it up with other groups and get to know other members. That’s not to say your group cannot continue to meet. This also provides opportunities for new people to join the fun!
What if I’m not a cook or a host? There is no expectation of culinary perfection, it is perfectly okay to bring things purchased at a store.
What about children? It may be that there are children in the host’s home; what a blessing! It will be up to the host to decide if children can be included, but our goal in this first year is to get our adults sharing fellowship together.
