Circles of Eight Dinner Groups	Would you like to get to know your fellow church members on a more personal level? Circles of Eight dinner groups offer the perfect opportunity. Each group consists of about eight people (married and single) meet once a month for four months in each other’s homes Each month a different participant from the group hosts the dinner The host supplies the entrée and all other members of the group bring a side dish or dessert to share One of the Marks of Discipleship that our congregation strives for is to be in relationships with other believers that will encourage spiritual growth. Sharing fellowship through meals in each other’s homes has proven to be a great way of creating friendships within our church family. New members and old members alike are welcome and encouraged to participate. Sign-up in August for the September–December session Sign-up sheets are on the table in the Narthex or sign up on your Count-Me-In in the Sunday worship bulletin Fall and spring sign-ups choose to participate in just one or both sessions during the year In each new session in which you participate, you are placed in a different group of eight people. This allows you to continually get to know a larger number of your fellow church members. Please contact Melinda Mitford at 817-424-3227 with any questions
