The Fellowship Committee is delighted to announce that we are bringing back Simple Suppers . This year we are offering an on-line signup form. Click here to access the sign up form.

After everyone who desires to participate has signed up, the Fellowship Committee will divide the list into groups of 8-10 people. Simple Suppers will start with a kick-off party held in the Parish Hall on Sunday, March 5th immediately following the 10:00 am service. At this event, everyone will break into their groups to schedule dinner or lunch get-togethers at the homes of group members. In past years, groups have arranged about three get-togethers. If you have any questions, please email Paul Zanardi or call at 908-256-1136.
