About us
Join the Wednesday Dinners Group for free soup and easy conversation at Calvary United Methodist Church on the North Side (the one with the big Tiffany stained glass windows near Acrisure Stadium).
We’re meeting for a 7-week series, February 18–April 1. Come once or join us every week. Optional after-dinner hangouts include an Ash Wednesday service, a discussion of Unprotected by Billy Porter, and a behind-the-scenes church tour.
All neighbors are welcome. Calvary is an LGBTQIA+ welcoming and affirming space. Come as you are.
