Our annual summer Dinner Groups are back for Summer 2025! We will be doing them in June and July. Our hope is that Dinner Groups will serve as one of the many ways our church body pursues maturity in Christ, while also deepening and building new relationships within the church body.

How Dinner Groups Work

For those who are new to Dinner Groups, here is how they work:

• What: Dinner Groups are formed with three to four couples, families, or individuals who share a meal and enjoy conversation twice during a month.

• Who:

  • Participants: Smaller groups of five to eight adults contribute to the shared meal. You don't have to be a church member to participate.

  • Hosts: One individual, couple, or family will be designated as a “host” for your group. Details of hosting are listed below. You must be a church member to host.

• When: There will be three options available. You will choose only one of the following options:

  • Option 1: Saturdays - July 12 and 26

  • Option 2: Wednesdays - July 9 and 30

  • Option 3: Other - for those who can't do the above dates and want to coordinate their own dates within their Dinner Groups

We Need Hosts

We want to limit the size of these groups, so we need people willing to host a Dinner Group. You must be a member of Ridgewood to be a host. If you agree to "host," Aaron will get you all the information you need.

Responsibilities of hosts:

• Must be a Ridgewood member

• Communicate with the group to determine the exact times for the shared meals

• Help coordinate what each person may contribute to the meal

• Initiate a more intentional conversation with some questions for everyone to be able to get to know each other better

Sign-up Deadline for July Dinner Groups: Sunday, June 22

We are going to do Dinner Groups in June and July. You will need to sign up for each month separately if you want to participate in both months. Your Dinner Group will be different for each month. The sign-up deadline for July Dinner Groups is Sunday, June 22 . This deadline is a hard deadline since the coordination of groups takes time and organization. Please sign up below by June 22.

Email Aaron with any questions.
