Dinners for Eight is an opportunity for the people of First Presbyterian Church – both members and visitors – to build relationships and get to know one another over a meal. We hope that Dinners for Eight will help build a strong community at FPC!

To sign up for Dinners for Eight is to commit to four meals with seven other people, some or all of whom you may not know. On Sunday, Oct. 8th following worship, those who have signed up for Dinners for Eight will gather for a potluck in Fellowship Hall to meet their group for the first time. At that time, you’ll set dates & times to share a meal together four times between October and January (rotating hosts or locations).

The group can choose whether they will eat in their homes, have a potluck at the church, or gather at a restaurant. We do not want members of the groups to feel as though they must invite everyone into their home, although eating with someone in his/her home can be a fun way to build an intimate community. If the group chooses to eat in their homes, they can ask the group members to bring various elements of the meal when they arrive.

What is the “bell choir”? It is a unique and fun way to worship and socialize for our youth. The bell choir is a cross between team sport and music ensemble. It certainly requires the coordination, cooperation, and dedication that is found on a sports team, yet instead of “goals” and “runs” from the group, music is produced.  Anyone with 2 arms who can count to at least 4 is able to join. Age ranges are: 5th – 8th Grades (Chapels) and 9th + (Lindseys).

In addition to having fun and making music in an environment that promotes health and loving interactions, the Ringers prepare to be integral participants in the worship services of the Church.

Lindsey Bells practice Wednesdays at 5:30pm and Chapel Bells at 7:00pm, in Middleton.
