FOYER - A French word meaning "hearthside" implying
the warmth of a close,
small group of friends sharing a common love and concern for each
other.
History - After the World War II bombing of Coventry Cathedral
small groups of people
began meeting to rebuild their community: a short litany, a modest
meal, conversation. In time,
FOYER GROUPS began springing up in parishes all over Britain and
in America. Many
Episcopal churches have foyer groups. Calvary's began in 1993.
Would you enjoy meeting with a few Calvary old-and-new-comers
to talk and eat and find
common connections?
A committee from Parish Life forms the groups of 9 to 13 (or
so) folks. Meetings are
once a month for four months; often on Friday evenings or Sunday
afternoons, occasionally
on a weekday evening; about two hours, generally in someone's
home, usually pot luck.
Each group decides. After four months...a new season. Groups change
as new people join in
and we start again.
FOYER GROUPS - a proven way to make our sometimes-too-large-seeming
parish feel
smaller and warmer. For longtime Calvaryites, newcomers, inquirers...whoever
you are...
FOYER GROUPS!
