The Big Game

Men are invited to enjoy an evening of food, football, and fellowship as we watch the Big Game together.

We’ll have plenty of food and drinks, fun halftime activities, and the camaraderie of watching the biggest game of the year together with other men. The sign up fee is $12. Please RSVP so we can plan for food.
