Coffee Hour is the Episcopalian term for a time for refreshment and fellowship. Coffee is optional! We love to eat, drink and be merry at Emmanuel. Staying after worship service for coffee hour is a favorite way to get to know fellow parishioners.
If you are looking to connect more deeply over time in fellowship with fellow congregants, consider signing up to participate in a friendship dinner circle! Groups are typically formed in September for this engaging experience. Groups of 4-5 couples are selected with one couple as the group leader to coordinate the meal scheduling. It is then a rotation one household to the next with each couple bringing a side dish, dessert, wine or whatever is required to make a lovely meal. By no means is any group confined to just doing dinners, it can be an outing, a lunch or brunch. The idea is to engender fellowship over a meal and get to know your parishioners.
