FEAST Groups
Friends Eating and Studying Together. A shared meal and a good book with your church family.
How does FEAST work?
We gather in homes to share a meal together for one hour and then discuss the book over dessert afterwards. Nourishing our bodies and our souls go hand in hand as we seek to do life together as a community.

Frequently asked questions
What should I bring?
An appetite! We will coordinate on a “theme” for dinner, and each person brings a dish. If you don’t like to cook, bring an appetite! We always have food left over.
What if I have kids?
Bring them! They can enjoy a meal with their church family and play with all their favorite friends afterwards.
How much reading is this?
About 1.8 pages per day, a perfect amount for a morning or evening devotion.
Where do we get the books?
After signing up either online or at church, Raymond Presbyterian Church will provide all necessary materials.
Do I have to lead a discussion?
No! This is not a teaching time but a discussion time. Our aim is to encourage asking open and honest questions.
Can I bring a friend?
Of course! This serves as a perfect opportunity to ask questions and to build relationships.
