All-Ages Potluck & Game Night

Saturday, June 28 - 5:00pm

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to enjoy fellowship and fun with your church family! We’ll gather in Patterson Hall this Saturday at 5:00 p.m. for a shared meal followed by an evening of game play. You’ll be able to choose from an assortment of hosted games – some with prizes, a few with silliness, others requiring strategy, and all with the potential for loads of fun! If you’ve never experienced a First Church potluck, you don’t want to miss this event! Please sign-up to bring something to share – a favorite dish, a new recipe you’ve been wanting to try, an entry you submitted to the recent First Church cookbook, a family tradition, or even a pizza you pick-up on your way. You can sign-up here. Childcare will be available for babies and toddlers, and there will be games for newbies, avid players, young, old, and everything in-between.
