The RSVP deadline date for this event has passed. Please contact David Daniel if you like to come, or would like to learn about future 30s-40s events.

Approximately once a month (except during the summer), the 30s-40s Fellowship gathers for dinner followed by a discussion on a chosen topic. This is an excellent way for newcomers to meet parishioners. This is not a singles group (some of those who attend the group are in relationships; some are raising children), but rather a gathering of adults who want to grow in Christian friendship as they go through changes and clarifying experiences that often come as one enters the middle years of life.

Each month, the discussion is led by a different person. In April we will have a discussion led by Andrea Lippke, who will speak generally about the way our faith (especially as it is practiced at St. Thomas) is emphatically incarnational: rather than treating the senses as inferior to the intellect, we use them for the purpose of worshipping God whole-heartedly (and whole-bodily). There is a movement afoot in Christian academic/artistic circles of creating art that is incarnational and not just merely representational. This leads to the very interesting question of how we might live out our faiths incarnationally–no matter what we do in our lives or in our careers.

Because we neither want to over-spend nor under-prepare, we ask that you RSVP at least five days in advance. And because we are entirely a self-sustaining group (we receive no church subsidy whatsoever), the cost of each dinner is $25 per person.The entire amount collected is used to pay the cost of the food, drinks and labor for that night’s gathering.

We hope you can join us!
