Third Sunday Each Month
Church-Wide Game Night
We gather on the third Sunday of the month at 5:30 pm for Game Night - board games, card games, word games, kids' games, strategy games, ping pong, all kinds of games!
​
Come even if you have no desire to play games. You can watch others or fellowship with those not playing. It will be a relaxed night, so feel free to play, watch, or do a little bit of both!
You are welcome to bring a game, a snack, and/or a friend, but you are also welcome to just bring yourself. It's a lot of fun!
