St Simon’s Episcopal Church
Fish Group
Fish Group is one of the highlights of our fellowship at St Simon’s. It’s a monthly dinner for adult parishioners, hosted by a parishioner or group of parishioners, either at home or in the Parish Hall. Whether you’re new to St Simon’s or a longstanding member, Fish Groups are a wonderful way to get to know people from the church. Fish Group is usually held on the 3rd Saturday of the month, but whichever Saturday best suits the host is fine. The date and venue are published in the newsletter and on the Church Calendar, and also announced at the Sunday services.
You can sign up here and there will be a map here. Please let the hosts know the number of people in your group and do bring a dish of your favourite finger food to share!
If you enjoyed a particular dish at Fish Group — or any St Simon’s Fellowship event — please let Lindsay Maher know what it was and who cooked it. We are collecting recipes from our parishioners to form a Taste of St Simon’s Cookbook.
If you would like to host a Fish Group, remember you don’t have to do it at home; the Parish Hall is always available. If you feel it’s too much to do on your own, you can always co-host with as many people as you want. Tables and chairs are available on loan from the church. Talk to Marjorie Lewars of the Fellowship Committee for more information.
How to host
Don’t panic - the guests do much of the work! Hosts customarily provide tea, coffee and a main dish; guests bring appetisers, sides, desserts and wine or beer. Disposable cups, plates and cutlery are the order of the day, so there are no worries about the washing up. You don’t even have to provide the venue: the Parish Hall is available for anyone who would rather do their “Fishing” there.
There are usually 20- 25 guests at any Fish Group. As guests bring plenty of dishes themselves, you can always be sure that no one will go hungry. And of course you can share host duties with your small group or your friends. It’s the easiest dinner party you’ll ever give!
