About Meals in May
Meals in May is a church-wide St Michael’s activity which encourages the forming of rich relationships with each other.
In every congregation, people are encouraged to have a meal together. You can sign up to be a host or a guest. Once we have received all the information we will match the guests to the hosts.
The meal can be any meal – breakfast, brunch, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner.
The location can be anywhere – a home, a picnic, a cafe or a restaurant.
For Hosts…
The host is an organiser, not necessarily the cook for everyone. Please expect everyone to contribute a little or a lot. The emphasis is on hospitality not entertaining. You are facilitating a get together – think of Mary not Martha.
How many people should we host? It’s up to you. It can be a few, for example if you want to have a dinner and your table fits 4 people then invite 3 others. Or many, for example you might organise a family-friendly picnic at the park.
We will try to let you know who will be your guests – this is so that there can be a mix of new and established members (hopefully!).
Please choose a date and if things can’t work out with some people, let your congregation organisers know or email churchlife@wollongonganglican.org and they might swap things around.
For Guests
If you choose to be a guest, please indicate how many people will be coming. If you have family members who are not part of Sr Michael’s please feel free to invite them too – as this can be a lovely way to introduce them to your church family.
Please liaise with your hosts to find a suitable date. If you can’t find a suitable time let your congregation organisers know or email churchlife@wollongonganglican.org so we can change things around.
Please let your hosts know of any dietary requirements.
Remember: The heart of Meals in May is to reflect God’s love through shared meals and open hearts so rich relationships in Christ can be formed in our church family.
