It’s time again for the all-church retreat at Bethany Hills campground in Kingston Springs. Be sure to mark your calendar for  October 22-24. Something new this year will be a nature talk at Montgomery Bell State Park featuring raptors and other cool stuff. The Fellowship Committee is looking for meal captains, an activity coordinator, and help with registration. Please contact us at fellowship@firstuunashville.org to find out how you can help.

What is Dinners for Nine?

It is a group of members and friends who sign up to be in a dinner group for approximately nine months. The dinner group meets monthly, usually skipping December. You will be assigned a group by the Fellowship Committee. Each member or couple will host one time and make the main dish. The host will assign other participants all the side dishes and dessert.

How do I sign up?

Use our online Dinners for Nine form.

What if I am vegetarian?

We may be able to accommodate you in a vegetarian group. However, all groups may have one or two vegetarians and should accommodate their needs by offering a substantial vegetarian side dish and salad.

What if I want to be in the same group as last year?

Please let us know this up front on your sign up sheet and list all the group members in your group.

What if I have food allergies?

Please carefully list all food allergies when signing up. We will let your group know about your needs.

What if I have a very small apartment and can’t fit nine people?

Dinner groups do not require formal seating. Some of the best groups have occurred while lounging on miscellaneous chairs and even while sitting on the floor! You could also arrange to host your dinner at the church (make certain to check with church office) or even plan a restaurant outing.

When is the best time to sign up?

Sign up now for the best chance of being placed in a group by September. However, we do have “rolling” sign ups all year, but it often takes quite a while to gather enough folks to form a group. This is the best time of year to get started!
