Deep Listening Dinners

Deep Listening Dinners offer an opportunity to meet new people and deepen connections through meaningful conversation and curiosity. Participants gather around tables of six to share a meal and reflect together on a guided theme for the evening.

Each table is supported by a conversational host and includes open-ended questions that encourage thoughtful sharing and attentive listening. While enjoying a meal and conversation, these evenings foster community, belonging, and spiritual nourishment.

Deep Listening Dinners will be held in Anderson Hall on the following dates:

April 10, 6-8pm
May 8, 6-8 pm
July 10, 6-8 pm

The April Deep Listening Dinner will be hosted by LGBTQIA+ Widen Our Welcome (W.O.W.) Group.

Everyone is welcome to this dinner who has an interest in understanding and supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and strengthening bonds of community at Fourth Presbyterian Church.

April 10, 6:00-8:00, Anderson Hall

Deep Listening Dinner Participants' Feedback

"Very much enjoyed the in-depth conversations. I liked the mix of generations so I could meet church members I wouldn’t otherwise encounter, and the length of time was perfect."

"I enjoyed the evening and plan to attend again. The discussion topics were thoughtful and encouraged honest replies."

"Being able to share a little about ourselves and touch hearts with others has been an inspiring experience and opportunity for growth. "

"In our busy lives, it's so difficult to get to know each other on a more personal level.  These dinners provide that space for everyone to be authentic and personal. The dinners provide opportunities for all of us to form new bonds, connections, and friendships."
