Progressive Dinner - the Game of LIFE - YOUR TURN
You are invited to take part in a Progressive Dinner on November 9, where we’ll gather as a community to hear McKendree folks share stories of faith, growth, and the choices that shaped them. The dinner will take place in several rooms at the church, with sessions starting at 4:00 p.m., 4:45 p.m., 5:30 p.m., and 6:15 p.m., each lasting an hour. Nursery care will be provided for children under 5, and we encourage families with children to join us for the earlier sessions. After dinner, we’ll enjoy a campfire and s’mores up the hill—a perfect opportunity to reflect on our journeys and what it means to say, “It’s my turn” to step forward in faith.
If you prefer to help with the event, there are volunteer opportunities.
Learn more and sign up for dinner and/or to volunteer.
