Come for a cold drink, fellowship and casual faith conversation. Just look for a table tent with Martin Luther holding a beer mug…that’ll be us! If the weather is nice, we’ll be out on the patio.
This event is open to anyone regardless of church membership or faith affiliation, so please invite your friends!
We meet the first Sunday of every month, so if you can’t make it this month make plans to attend next month. Cheers!
