Galentine's Dinners (Cool Springs)
2026-02-02 - 2026-02-06 | TN
We’re hosting a week of Galentine’s-style dinners designed to help women in our congregation connect, celebrate one another, and build new relationships. Each evening will be hosted by one woman and held at a local restaurant. Attendees will sign up for a specific night and restaurant, then show up ready to “blind date” with other women they may not know yet.
The heart behind this is simple: create low-pressure, joyful spaces where women feel welcomed, seen, and connected. This is especially aimed at helping women meet new people and feel more deeply woven into our church community.
How It Works:
– One dinner per night, Feb 2–6
– Each dinner has a designated host
– Women register by selecting a date and restaurant
– Groups are intentionally mixed to encourage new connections
– Casual, fun, no prep required for attendees beyond showing up

There are seven lessons from Scripture, leading us from Isaiah’s prophecy of the Messiah’s birth to the annunciation to the visit of the magi. Carols are sung by the congregation in response to each lesson.
Nursery for ages 2 and under will be available.
