Reach Family Table: Fall Block Party

The Gospel makes us family, and families gather around tables. (or in this case, on the lawn out front!)

We’re kicking off the Fall with a special ‘Block Party’-style Reach Family Table – our all-church gatherings for food and connection, with no agenda. We’ll gather right outside the NU Chapel on the front lawn. 

You can expect:

  • Complimentary BBQ food + drinks: burgers, hot dogs, buns, toppings, drinks. (Provided by Reach)
  • Potluck-style bring-your-own sides and desserts to share
  • Bring blankets, chairs, and games for hanging out on the lawn

Come hungry, come as you are — ready to connect with friends new and old!

What are Family Tables?

One of the simplest things the early Church did was eat together. No agenda. Simply breaking bread and conversation can shift us from disconnection to family. Family Tables are about doing that.

Simply RSVP with the number you have coming — nothing expected of you except to show up and enjoy being together.

We believe a quietly powerful thing happens when God’s people share meals. Walls come down. Strangers become friends. The table has a way of making what’s invisible, visible — that we actually belong to each other.

No agenda. Just food, family, and an open seat. We’ll see you at the table.

You’re Invited

Whether you’ve been following Jesus for decades, or identify with words like “curious” or “skeptical” when it comes to faith or church, we want you to know there is a place for you here.
