Theology on Tap
Picture this: It’s a Tuesday night at 6:45.
You haven’t made dinner yet, you’re pretty hungry. You’ve been in front of your computer all day working, and haven’t seen anyone outside of a Zoom call. You’ve been shuffling people to school, appointments, sports games. You’ve been alone in your house, watching TV, trying to find something to do. You’ve been out and about, getting all your errands done, seeing all your doctors. You’ve had a day, whatever it brought you.
Then, you remember there’s a place you can go, on this Tuesday night. You remember that at 7 p.m. at Dough Craft Pizza, there’s a group you can be with where you’ll be prayed for, listened to, supported, loved. There’s a time you can share with people who want to know how your life is going, who are curious about what God is doing in your life and in their lives. And there will be pizza. And soda. And water. And beer and wine. And pasta. And bruschetta. And salad. Really anything you want within the scope of a somewhat-Italian restaurant.
You can come and fill up your spiritual cup. Come and ask questions. Come and be surprised!
