SHARE THE DREAM LUNCHEON

January 15, 2012

Enjoy the fellowship of members of our partner church, Charles Street A.M.E. Church, as our two communities have a light lunch together after the Share the Dream worship service.

PROGRESSIVE DINNER

An annual tradition that really attracts huge crowds.  We meet at the church for appetizers, break into small groups to attend a "salad course" house, then travel to new houses for the dinner and dessert.  This is a wonderful way to meet new friends, and enjoy the company of current church members.  Watch for the Spring 2012 date.

WESTON PRIORY WEEKEND RETREAT

April , 2012

An annual retreat to the Colonial House Inn in Weston, VT, where adults can relax and explore the area, worship at the Priory, and enjoy fellowship and spiritual refreshment.
