Dining Out Group
Dining Out is a great way to become better acquainted with others of First Byron Church. Dining Out groups meet for four months twice a year- August-November and February-May. Each group has eight people (mix of couples and singles). Two people of each group start by choosing a restaurant and then a date and time that works for the others. The group can set up the places and dates for the following three months when they are together. A new signup each four-month time allows you to opt in or out as your schedule permits and to dine with a new mix of people.
