On Thursdays at 1 PM there will be a group playing Mexican Train in the Narthex. Never played? No problem! Each week the group will meet for about two hours. On days where SAGES meets the group will play aft er SAGES is done. No need to sign up. Just drop by when you can! Call Carolyn Warner to learn more.

It’s been several years since we have had our chili cookoff event. This year we will try a version of that by having a potluck of chili or other soups, salads, and Valentine desserts after Sabbath worship on Saturday, Feb 11, at 6 pm.

We plan to do this in the downstairs fellowship hall, so it will take more help than our usual coffee times upstairs. Please join us for this fun social time and sign up for either food donations or setting and cleaning up.

We hope for several people to bring their favorite chili or other soup variations to share, as well as salads or crudites to complete the main course. Desserts focused on Valentine theme are welcome to spread the love! Check the narthex
for sign-up sheets. Thank you for your help!

Brewed For Thought is back! You’re invited to attend the next “Brewed for Thought” gathering on Sunday January 22 at 6:00pm at Casa Mexico (10332 W Fairview Ave). The group will gather for dinner, drinks, and conversation around a theological or ethical topic. For more information or to RSVP, please contact Steve Bancroft or be in touch with the church office.   

Southminster has an active group of men who meet twice monthly for lunch and fellowship together. The group orders off each restaurant’s menu and typically pays for their own meals.

Beginning in January, the group will be swapping locations:

2nd Tuesday of each month at 11:30am — Casa Mexico, Fairview
4th Tuesday of each month at 11:30am — Life’s Kitchen

Questions? Contact the church office for more information.
