Our First New Social Event!

Just a reminder that our first new-style social event happens this Sunday at the Parkins residence!  Jennifer and Rich are hosting a St. Patrick's Day dinner at 4:00 on Sunday afternoon.  Let her know if you can come and if you can bring anything!

What makes this event "new"?  Well, it's not one of our super-organized, church-wide affairs like the Spring Tea or Summer Camp-Out.  It's not based at church or organized by me like movie or game nights (which you'll see coming up too).  Jennifer and Rich are inviting their church family to get together and hang out on their own.  They just let us know so we could announce it, but it's them inviting us to gather for an event they think is fun...all on their own!

We hope that more people will start doing this kind of thing, figuring out what they'd like to do and then hosting an event.  Everybody has different interests.  Different people will come for different things.  If several of us host events not only will we cover more bases socially, we'll all get to know each other better.

It doesn't have to be fancy or formal.  We'd just like to know what you think is fun and whether you'd consider inviting church folks over to do it with you.  Something to think about as you make your way to the Parkins' awesome dinner Sunday!
