Dessert Night at Pastor John's

We’d love to invite you over to Pastor John’s home for a Dessert Night on Sunday, April 6. It’s a 6-8pm, come-as-you-like, leave-when-you-want, bring-the-kids-if-you-got-‘em kinda’ thing. Bring a favorite dessert to share, or not -- just come and enjoy others’ favorite recipes (there’s always way more than enough to go around!).

A kick-back, agenda-free way of hanging out and getting to know a few people. And we would love the opportunity to get to spend more time with you!
