The concept is simple. You recruit women to host tables. They provide the table set up; linens, dishes, glasses, etc. They provide a crock of soup, bread, butter, wine, fruit. They decorate their tables for lent (grapevine crown of thorns), candles. They provide a small token gift, I am making rosaries. Then they invite 7 friends and host them as if they were having them over for dinner.
We provide the spiritual setting to enter the season.
In our case we have a priest who will be speaking, followed by a woman offering her testimony and life through the lens of Our Lady of Sorrows. We will conclude our evening with Stations of the Cross.
Two girlfriends are helping me coordinate. This is our first event. We have recruited 25 table hostesses through various women and parish organizations. This is a potential of 200 women attending. Down the line if anyone wants more information, please feel free to contact me. I am happy to share files. :) God bless.
