St Augustine’s recognizes that a sense of community is vital to the health of the church. We offer several opportunities for fellowship with smaller groups throughout the year in hopes that individuals will feel more connected to the great community.
Social gatherings
Cottage Dinners
Do you want to get to know some of the folks who you see in Benton Chapel on Sunday mornings? Are you looking for deeper connection with some of your fellow St. A's people? If so, sign up to join a Cottage Dinner group! Whether you are new to St. A's or a long-time attender, we would love for you to join a group and break bread together. Groups are meant for any and all in our church family; young, old, single, partnered, parents, kids, and everyone in between. They aim to meet once a month or so for a meal; those gatherings might happen in your homes, at restaurants, or elsewhere...the sky's the limit!
If you are interested in joining a new Cottage Dinner group this season, please contact Barbara Ball (barbara.ball@gmail.com) or Emily Berry (emily@staugustineschapel.org) by September 8. We'll organize groups and get everyone going after that!
