Sign Up for Mix-Sups
Looking to connect with new people in our church community? Sharing a meal is a great way to do that, and Mix-Sups is a great way to share a meal! We'll mix and match you up with others for one dinner per month in February, March, April and May. Each month, one person or couple will host a total of eight people. The host provides the main dish, while the six to seven guests will be asked to bring a side dish. You can sign up as a couple, with a friend, or on your own. If you cannot host a meal, that's okay — we'll match you with people who can! Sign-ups will begin Sunday, December 4, 2011, in the narthex, and will continue through the month of December. Can’t find us in the Narthex? Send your name (and that of your partner if you have one), phone number and email to Lisa Coleman at beanrhit@comcast.net, and you’ll be added to the MIX!!
