Join us Sunday nights at 12 Baskets for a meal,
spiritual practice, & conversation
Doors at 5:30, Dinner at 6
Every Sunday evening, we will gather to share a meal together, engaging in intentional conversation. Some weeks these meals will be longer, the conversation more intentional, other weeks we will shift from dinner after 30-45 minutes into engaging a spiritual practice or Christian worship. You are welcome to come for dinner and skip the programming, come for just programming, or attend both. All pieces of the program are optional, as long as you respect our community values and boundaries. RSVP encouraged (especially if you have dietary restrictions), but not required, you can RSVP here.
