Foyer – word that strikes a chord with many of us at Nativity. A time-honored, popular, and fabulous tradition here, Foyer is the best way to meet others in the parish, relax, and share meals together. This wonderful program had its beginnings after World War II. For a really good explanation, do have a look at this link.
How it works: you sign up and will be randomly assigned in groups of about 6. One person in that group will be designated the first to host a meal, and will contact the others to schedule. Groups operate completely as they wish – you might even meet at a restaurant, or design a picnic lunch at a nearby park. This is meant to learn about your fellow parishioners, perhaps folks you don’t know yet. It’s also meant to be in the style of your own home – if you always set out your favorite pottery dishes, go for it! If you enjoy using your fancy china, that’s great – it’s always up to you, the host, as to what and how you serve. It’s not potluck, either – the host will do everything for that meal. It’s not for couples only – do sign up without a partner too.
Signups will take place during August and early September. This round will cover late September through November or thereabouts. We’ll also plan an all-foyer Christmas gathering sometime in December. You may email Ailsa Tessier to sign up, and there will also be signup sheets in the narthex at church. Either way is fine, since we’re not all attending church in person. In mid-September a listing of all the groupings will be sent via email, and you’ll be ready to go.
Do join – we have missed each other during these past 2-1/2 years, and so many of us are newer members that we need to get to know each other better. Got fun? Get Foyer.
