We desire to create UNITY through Community. The Banquet Ministry hosts monthly potlucks and organizes other fellowship events centered on connection, food, fellowship, and fun. Events include the Christmas Party, Pastor’s Appreciation Day, Passover, and other special events focused on community.
JOIN THE MINISTRY!
Would you like to join the ministry to help coordinate, setup, and lead the monthly potlucks? Can you bring fun and joy to the monthly gatherings?
On the first SUNDAY of each month we gather to have fellowship, fun and connection. We are fun people with the gift of hospitality. Join us in Church Center Ministry Group!

Friendsgiving
Let’s share Thanksgiving together! Sign up to let us know what dish you will be
bringing. Feel free to stay as long as you like, eat as much as you want, or just pop
in for pie and coffee. Eitherway, the warmth your hearts will feel as you engage with
the Family of God is sweeter than the best pumpkin pie.
Romans 8: 15-16 “For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again,
but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons (and daughters) by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!”
The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God.”
December – Christmas Party

Isaiah 9:6-7 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts
will accomplish this. “
