Current Fellowship Groups:
Friends of Faith Dinner Club
3rd Thursday of the month, 5:30pm, various restaurants
Once a month this social group gathers in fellowship at a nearby restaurant to sit, eat, and visit. The restaurant changes month to month and all are welcome. The hosts’ responsibility is to choose a restaurant and contact them to set up a space for 20-30 attendees. We’ve met in Fredericksburg, Kerrville, San Antonio, Boerne. We often have people ask to be added to the email list, and welcome, happily, any newcomers. Please reach out to Diann Wandrey at diannwandrey@gmail.com if you’d like to be put on the email list!

Lit ‘n Lunch is a book club here at St. John.

We meet on the third Monday of each month at noon here at St. John. So, if you work close by, you can spend your lunch hour with us. We only meet for 1 hour. Members choose the books together, usually about 3-4 months at a time. We are a small group and would love to grow our group to include you!
Canasta / Dominoes

We share a potluck meal together at 5pm followed by the games which usually conclude by 8:30pm. If you would like to join our group, we would be very happy to have you. If you have never played Canasta, or as some say “it’s been awhile” well don’t let that stop you, we will teach you. Come and join us as we have so much fun and delicious food to share. Individuals and couples are welcome. Contact Jean Sheffy via text (210-845-2849) for more information.
