We are launching a new way to connect with others in the VBC Family at the Crossing! "Open Table" is for couples, singles, and families who will get together once a month for 4 to 6 months (depending on the group and the host family) for dinner and fellowship.

It can be a casual affair in the backyard or a sit-down dinner, and the groups will range from 7 or more folks (depending on the capacity of the group). The host (which may or may not rotate based on the group's preference) will prepare the main dish and the others will contribute appetizers, drinks, salad, breads/carbs, and dessert.

"Open Table" is not in lieu of your small group--it's simply a way to get to know some VBC folks over a meal. You can sign up in several ways:

(1) there will be sign-up tables in the Multi-purpose Room and in the lobby area

(2) you can indicate your interest in the envelope with your email address, and we will get back with you

(3) you can sign up on your VBC app or the VBC website.

Once we have all of the sign-ups, which will close on Sunday, February 16, we will form the groups and send you all on your way! From time to time, we hope to post on our website and in the newsletter hosting ideas, such as recipes, games, conversation starters, dinner themes, etc.
