Guess Who's
Coming to Lunch

One empty chair. A table full of surprises. And a church family waiting to meet you.

A generous shared spread
Reserved foryou

You bring a dish. Your host brings the room.

Everyone brings a part, so every table is full — and no single person carries the load.

The best part

You won't know who's joining you.

Hosts and guests are matched in secret. The table you sit at could hold friends you've yet to meet.

Why you'll love it

01

Meet your church family

Share a meal with people across every age and stage — and leave with new friends.

02

Hospitality made simple

No one does it all. Everyone brings a part, so every table is full and the load is shared.

03

The joy of the surprise

Half the fun is the mystery. Guess who's coming — then find out, together, over a long lunch.

So — host or guest?

Pick your part. Both bring food. Both make the table.

A warm welcome
Be a Host

Open your home

You provide the venue and the welcome — your guests bring the rest.

  • Provide the venue
  • Bring part of the meal
  • Welcome your mystery guests
A dish to share
Be a Guest

  • Get matched to a host
  • Bring part of the meal
  • Meet new church family

Pull up a chair.

Guess Who's Coming to Lunch is one of our favourite ways to grow as a church family — and the fun is in the surprise. When you sign up, you won't know exactly who you'll be sharing a meal with until the day arrives.

You can take part as a host, opening your home and providing the venue, or as a guest, joining a table somewhere new. Either way, everyone brings a part of the meal to share, so no one carries the whole load and every table is full.

What makes it special is who ends up around the table together. We're a church family made up of all ages, stages and walks of life, and this is a chance to share a meal with people you might not normally get to know — to swap stories, build friendships and enjoy genuine fellowship.

"Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality."Romans 12:13

We run Guess Who's Coming to Lunch every year, so if you miss out this time, there's always a place at the table next time around.
