SUPPER CLUB

The Supper Club is a special ministry at
The Lighthouse Church designed to encourage the building of relationships with other adults in the church family...

Once a month, on a given night,
TLC adults host six to seven others in their homes for fellowship and dinner...

The meal is usually handled potluck or sit down style- sometimes with a menu theme- chinese, italian, mexican or seafood...

Whatever the fare, the evening is sure to be special, with good conversation and the opportunity to begin new friendships...For newcomers, this is a great way to begin getting acquainted and a perfect vehicle for new community groups to be born!

If interested in participating with the Supper Club,
contact the Church Office.

to minister and help each other in times of need through the
various seasons of life.

2. Spiritual Growth Opportunties- "Reaching Up"
-A place to provide every individual-in a small group
context- through the use of the bible and prayer and intensive
