SOCIAL LIFE AT MELVILLE
Throughout the year there are a variety of events, such as “Guess Who’s Coming for Dinner?”, which are for all members of the congregation to meet informally and enjoy some fellowship. These events are announced in the bulletin and in the Events Calendar.
COFFEE
After every Sunday morning service coffee and treats are served at the back of the church. Members volunteer to bring cookies, squares and other tasty treats! This time allows everyone to spend time with each other in a more social setting.
FINGER LUNCHEONS
On the last Sunday of every month a finger food luncheon is held after the church service. Everyone staying to eat brings sandwiches, desserts, veggie trays, etc to ensure there is enough for all!
SOUP AND MORE 2
Every Friday from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm in the basement of Melville lunch is served. A donation is all it costs for your meal! This program is a joint effort of the members of the Brussels Ministerial Association and the community of Brussels. It allows people of the community to come out and enjoy a home cooked meal. All donations received will be used to purchase supplies for the program.
