Supper Club

Our church has sponsored Supper Club groups for several years. The groups are reorganized approximately once a year. The Supper Clubs are monthly gatherings for food, fun, and Christian fellowship. Belonging to a Supper Club has proven to be a good way to become close friends with other members of the church that you may not have met before.

In April 2003 the reorganization resulted in 7 "Clubs" that remained active for a whole year. In June 2004 we began this year's reorganization, initially with 8 Clubs. Reorganizing into new Clubs gives the participants an opportunity to expand the variety of new friends. It also provides a good time for other people to join the program. Ideally there are about 10 people in each "Club". There are still a number of openings available to accommodate new people on this year's 8 Clubs. If enough people are interested, we can always form additional Clubs. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Each Club plans to meet once a month. Most Clubs choose to rotate the meeting place among the homes of the Club members. Usually the main dish and drinks are provided by those who live at the meeting place, and other members bring appetizer, vegetable, salad, and dessert. Some Clubs choose to have some of the monthly meetings at restaurants rather than homes. Most Clubs are receptive to including guests, providing adequate notice is given. Some groups having several children still living at home may choose to include them in the evening's events.

Each Club makes an effort to select meeting dates that will allow most of the members to be present. Experience has shown that it is not unusual to have one couple unable to come, even when the date is carefully chosen. Some groups choose to have other activities in addition to eating and talking. For example, some choose to have games or music. Each group is welcome to develop its own approach.
