What's a Supper Club?
It is a potluck dinner at a host's home; an informal and relaxed setting. It's a great way for newcomers and long-timers to gather. If you have loved past iterations such as Red Plate Dinner Club and Amazin' Grazin' Dinner Club, then you will love Savor & Share. If you have never participated, give it a try!
What's the Agenda? The only agenda is to get to know one another better and share food and fellowship (no program - just dinner, hospitality, and conversation).
Who Can Participate? All adults who attend St. Paul's (members and visitors) are invited to participate! Singles, Couples, and Friends are all welcome to sign up.
How Does it Work? Everyone who has signed up will be assigned to host one month and attend the other two months (Mar/Apr/May) in groups of 6 to 8. Generally, the host provides a main dish, and the guests contribute the rest of the meal (salad, sides, dessert, beverages, etc.). This is coordinated within each group by the host.
Please email [email protected] by February 17 to join the fun! If you (or someone else is interested) but do not use email, please call Kiffin at (615) 785-5660.
