Laughter and a little friendly competition have a way of bringing people together. "Common Ground Games" is a simple gathering built around playing games along with relaxed conversation.

In a world that can feel rushed and disconnected, this is a space to unwind, have fun, and build genuine connections.

No pressure, no expertise required—just show up and play.

Make new friends. Relaxed environment. Lighthearted fun with room for meaningful moments.

This night we will play a card game called "Flip 7." It's easy to learn.

During the evening between food and games, we’ll take a few minutes for a brief faith moment— an easy, meaningful reflection for anyone open to it.

Newcomers gladly welcomed. Our spirit is “love our neighbor” rather than “curse the world.” Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome.

Rules: Be kind (it’s just a game), include everyone, tip well.

We meet about once a month at a local restaurant in Sarasota.

This gathering is at Patricks, 1481 Main St, Sarasota, FL 34236. Dutch treat on the meal. Please tip well.

Free Parking available in the garage at 111 S Pineapple Avenue (spots marked First Church).

Good food has a way of bringing people together. "Parables in Paradise" is a simple gathering built around a shared meal and meaningful conversation. We explore short, Bible-based stories and talk about how they connect to everyday life.

In a world that feels divided, this is a place to reconnect— with others, and maybe with something deeper.

*Make new friends. Relaxed environment. Meaningful conversation.*

Rules: Be kind (no arguing), tip well.

**Newcomers gladly welcomed. Our spirit is "love our neighbor" rather than "curse the world." Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome.**

We have multiple gatherings in restaurants around Sarasota.

This gathering is at Duffy's Sports Grill (3005 University Pkwy, Sarasota, FL 34243). Look for a guy wearing a bright yellow hat. (I promise we won't make you wear a yellow hat too!)

Dutch treat on the meal. Please tip well.
