Women's Ministry Dinner Groups
A survey of Midway women revealed the #1 desired activity is an occasional dinner group, to simply share in fellowship with other women.
The week of March 24-29, Women's Ministry will host "Table Talk" groups that will meet for a meal at a local restaurant. A table hostess has already been designated for each day. She picked a restaurant, and has space in her group for up to 10 ladies. She'll make reservations at the designated restaurant, and communicate the plans to those who signed up for her group.
That's it! Sign up and show up. Just once. No homework, no prep. Just one meal with other Midway women - some you may know and others you won't. Find a date or place that works for you, and
