Breaking Bread – Family Centred Community Dinners

The Lifespan Programs Team is excited to promote a monthly series of family centred events for building community, friendships, skills, and fun. Monthly themes revolve around connections, skill sharing, holidays, rest, and silliness.

September 27th, 5:00-8:00 pm (RSVP), is our first dinner – we are forming new Covenant Groups for the year, and connecting with folks who have been meeting together for years to share tips on making a lasting small group. Many years past have seen families connect in groups of 2-4, meeting once a month for a meal or playtime. People have formed groups around shared identity or shared interest in a subject or with the simple goal of exploring and deepening spirituality. What will this year bring?

Who should plan to come next Saturday?

  • Members of current covenant groups willing to share their experience and wisdom
  • Families of all varieties and ages – however you define family
  • Leaders or members of current covenant groups/identity groups that are open to new members
  • Anyone who would like to join or form a small group this year
  • People who have taken the small group facilitator training and could co-lead a new group

What should I bring?

Please bring a side dish, dessert, or bread if you’re able. We will have a couple large pots of soup for our tummies and souls.
