A House of Prayer for All Nations Community Event
Where Community Meets Connection - Every First Friday of the Month
Looking for a relaxed way to connect with your church family and meet new friends? Join us for First Friday Fellowship - an evening designed to bring our House of Prayer for All Nations community together in a spirit of friendship, fun, and faith.
Think of it as your monthly reset button - a chance to step away from the busy pace of life and simply enjoy being together. No formal agenda, no lengthy programs, just authentic fellowship where relationships flourish and new friendships begin.
Delicious Food & Great Company - We start with a shared meal featuring potluck favorites and everyone's signature dishes. Come hungry and leave satisfied! Don't worry if you can't bring something - there's always plenty to share.
Relaxed Atmosphere - No pressure, no performance, just genuine conversation laughter, and friednly games. Whether you're an extrovert who loves meeting new people or someone who prefers quieter connections, you'll find your place here.
Games & Fun Activities - We always have a variety of games going throughout the evening! Board games, card games, group games for all ages - there's something for everyone. Competitive or casual, simple or strategic, we've got options that bring out the smiles and create great memories.
All Ages Welcome - From babies to grandparents, everyone belongs at First Friday. Kids often end up playing together while adults connect, creating natural community across generations.
Flexible Participation - Stay for the whole evening or drop by when you can. Some people come straight from work, others arrive after dinner - all are welcomed warmly.
Deepen Church Relationships - Move beyond Sunday morning greetings to real conversations and meaningful connections with your church family.
Welcome Newcomers - If you're new to House of Prayer for All Nations, this is the perfect low-key way to meet people and feel at home in our community.
Build Lasting Friendships - Many of our closest church friendships began around a First Friday dinner table. There's something special about sharing a meal that opens hearts and builds bonds.
Create Family Memories - Kids love First Friday! They get to play with friends while seeing adults model Christian fellowship and community.
Just Show Up! - No RSVP required, though it helps us plan if you text the First Friday Fellowship team at 602.507.9917 to let us know you're coming.
Bring a Dish - If you're able, bring something to share. We always need main dishes, sides, desserts, and drinks. Can't cook? Store-bought contributions are perfectly welcome!

At House of Prayer for All Nations, we believe that fellowship is essential to spiritual growth. The early church "broke bread together with glad and sincere hearts" (Acts 2:46), and we continue that tradition every First Friday. This isn't just a social event - it's a vital part of our church's DNA, where relationships deepen, newcomers find belonging, and our community grows stronger.
Come as you are. Bring your appetite for good food and genuine fellowship. Leave with a fuller heart and deeper connections.
Because life is better when we do it together.
