Once a month, usually on the second Monday, groups of diners who are members of our church, gather in small groups at various restaurants around town to enjoy good food and lively conversation. Presbyterians can eat and talk with the best of them. Most of the groups go to the same restaurant every month but our downtown group is more adventurous. We go to a different place each time. There are a lot of choices in and near downtown. This evening, for example, we went to Shigs in Pit on Fairfield and next month we will go to the Viet Nam restaurant across the street. There are usually six to eight of us which makes for easy round table conversation. The food is always good. Mediocre restaurants tend not to survive in Fort Wayne. The conversation is even better. This evening, for example our topics ranged from some tricky real estate ownership laws to recently attended weddings to how pre-nups should be written to social security issues to unusual burial choices that people have made. It sounds like a strange mix when I write it down but it involved lots of laughs and some expressions of concern. We are a caring group. Our pastor's sermon this morning focused on building community, and we certainly did our best.
