Fellowship Opportunities

Fellowship ~ getting together ~ enjoying each other, having fun and growing.

It is often difficult to separate social opportunities from ministry and spiritual growth activities at St. Mary Magdalene, as they often overlap. Almost any activity begins and ends with a healthy dose of visiting with old-timers and meeting newcomers. Some activities are designed specifically to help us get to know one another better and to provide an atmosphere of relaxed interaction. Opportunities available are listed below; please ask the contact person or the Clergy any questions you may have.

Coffee Hour :Linger after both the 8:30 and 10:30 AM Sunday services for coffee (a fair trade decaf coffee), tea, juice, edible treats (at 10:30 AM) and great conversation.

KISS (Keep It Simple Suppers): In the fall and spring those who want to participate may sign up and are assigned to small groups that meet monthly for the season. There are groups for adults only or adults plus children. Each family, couple or individual agrees to host a dinner in their home for one of the months. These groups offer good food, laughs, encouragement and hope and build community within St. Mary Magdalene.It’s a wonderful way to get to know each other better - outside of church on Sunday.
