Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?

Let’s face it, most of us go to the same service every weekend and sit in the same pew surrounded by the same people and yet, other than extending a welcome and an occasional handshake, we do not know their name or anything about them. Well, we hope to change that with a new event called, “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner?!”

This event offers an adventurous, fun, and unique opportunity to foster fellowship with others in our church community. For this event, you will be invited to attend a dinner at a ‘host home’ on Friday, November 7th at 6:00 pm.  The catch is, you don’t know who the host or the other dinner guests will be until you arrive!

This event is open to people of all ages and stages of life. All will enjoy an evening filled with spontaneous fun, great conversation, and delicious food.

Here’s what it’s about…

GUESTS will eat together at a HOST FAMILY’S HOME. The only information they are given is the address, phone number, number of people attending, and what to bring for dinner (i.e., side dish, salad, or dessert). Guests will receive this information via email the week before the event.

The HOST for the evening is responsible for the main course, beverages, and a hospitable home. They too do not know who will be attending, and are only provided the number of guests via email the week prior.

Once a HOST is established and the number of guests is determined for a host family, the guests are assigned. The GUESTS are assigned and grouped based on their stage of life (i.e., young adults, married with children, retired, etc).

GUESTS should arrive at 6:00 pm on Friday. The dinners themselves do not need to be fancy. No one should feel that they must have fine china and crystal. Dinner can be anything from chicken, pasta, burgers, pizza, soup, chili, or tacos! The goal is for people to find common ground and for this evening to be a springboard to build friendships and foster a closer community within Calvary.

When you click to apply, you will be given the option to be a “host” or a “guest.” While we know not everyone is in a position to host, please prayerfully consider being a host if you are able, as this event cannot be successful without enough hosts! By opening your home, we are sure you will be blessed, and your hospitality will bless others.
