    Let's Meet and Eat!
    Sign up now to join a group and get to know some new people.

    Are you wanting to get to know other members of the Second community of faith? “Dinners for 8" is an opportunity for you to be placed into a group with folks you may not know well (or at all!) for the purpose of growing and deepening relationships. Once groups are formed, they’ll decide when and how to meet. Please fill out this form to join the fun!

    "Dinners for 8" is for EVERYONE -- single, married, dating, all ages! These small dinner groups help foster more meaningful Christian fellowship, hospitality, belonging, fun, and closer interpersonal and social relationships with other Second Church members.

    We'd love for you to be part of the next series of dinners! Our hope is that each of the groups will meet monthly during the next season. On the sign-up form, you can indicate your preference to be with an intergenerational group or similar age range/life stage. In the comment section, feel free to let us know of any other preferences!

    If you have questions or want to learn more, feel free to contact Rev. Madison VanVeelen at (317) 253-6461.
