Taste Of Community - Summer 2009

Grab a baseball glove, your barbecue fare, a Bocce set, or just a big smile, and join us this summer at one or many of the following events. Relax, laugh, play, chat, and get to know people from Mars Hill in these "bites" of community scattered throughout June, July, and August! [Look for the signs with our green, six-circle logo—that's where we'll be.]

We're tasting community in a variety of groups for a variety of purposes at a variety of locations throughout West Michigan. No matter who you are or how you’re looking to connect with others from Mars Hill, we hope you'll find there's a great fit for you.
