Thursday, September 30, 2010, - Deadline to sign up for ST. JAMES BRUNCH, SUPPER & RESTAURANT GROUPS These groups meet once a month beginning in October or November. Participants take turns hosting the event at their individual homes.
WHICH GROUP FITS YOU?
Brunch Groups: Meet on Sunday mornings after church services. The ‘host’ usually does the entire meal.
Supper Groups: Participants sign up to either meet on Friday or Saturday nights. IF you have a
preference, indicate on the sign-up form below. The ‘host’ usually provides the drinks and prepares the main dish. Remaining members bring the side dishes.
Restaurant Groups: Meet on Sunday mornings after church services and select a different restaurant
to enjoy each month.
It has been brought to our attention that when the groups get too large it makes it difficult for members to accommodate them in their home. In an attempt to get more participation this year, we are going to try to keep the groups to around
eight in number. We will also review the pairings from last year in an attempt to put you together with new faces. Additionally, we will balance each group with couples and single participants. If you are a single participant, you may sign up with another single participant in order to be put in the same group.
Sign Up Now...Get to know someone new...
