Our "Come to the Table" Tuesday night dinners at First Alliance Church are running again until April 21st. Join us every Tuesday at 6 pm for a homecooked meal for only $4 (suggested donation). Last week's dinner was a Valentine themed (Lady & the Tramp) Italian pasta extravaganza made by Cindy L. and about 25 of us enjoyed not just the meal but some good conversation afterward. We'd love for you to join us next week! And if you would like to help cook or serve, sign up in the foyer of First Alliance or speak to Pastor Dan.

Our popular Tuesday night "Come to the Table" community dinners start up again on February 3rd and will continue every Tuesday from 6-7 pm through April 21st.

Enjoy a homecooked soup or entree meal with salad, bread, and dessert for $4 (suggested donation). All are welcome!
If you would like to cook or can help serve, please sign up on the table in the entryway.
We hope you can join us for great food and fellowship at the Bridge Café!
Beginning February 3rd, our Tuesday evening, Come to the Table Dinners will not only offer generous meal but also offer a sumptuous feast of friendship with a side of encouragement! We hope you’ll consider committing to attending at least a month of dinners (4 weeks) in either February, March, or April!

Sign up to let us know you plan to attend and if you want to be part of a group of 6-8 or 2-4 persons. Dinner will start at 6pm and once dessert if served, table gatherings can transition into a guided conversation using the packet on the table. The packet will have everything you need.

When you arrive you will meet up with the people in your “Tuesday Night Group.” You’ll spend the evening together sharing updates on life’s roller coaster, answering curious questions (not embarrassing), offering prayer needs, and ending with reading/pondering a passage of Scripture & prayer.

New groups will be formed at the beginning of each month. If you need to leave early, your group will miss you but it’s ok. If you miss a week, your group will pray for you, but it’s ok. And if someone shows up without a group, we will just fold them in so they too feel like they are part of God’s family. See someone you want to talk to – go catch up and enjoy a visit before moving back to your group for the night (and text them later!).

These Come to the Table dinners are about helping our church family experience Jesus through relationships. How many times do people feel lonely, discouraged, overwhelmed, or fatigued? Deepening friendships and sharing burdens is part of God’s plan for becoming more like Jesus as a church.

I believe God is inviting us into some new Kingdom community experiments to remind us of His nearness through our brothers and sisters who are going through some of the same things we are. Isn’t that the life of faith? Stepping into something new, believing God’s already there waiting to be what you need Him to be to you.

Sign up in the foyer! Groups start February 3rd. 6pm. Marty & Martha will be cooking that night. You won’t want to miss it!
