Foyer Groups
During World War II, Coventry Cathedral in Britain had been badly bombed. As a way of rebuilding their fellowship, small groups of people began to meet for a modest meal and conversation. They called these groups “foyers,” French for “hearthside,” implying the warmth of a close group of friends. It is pronounced “foy-yeh” with the accent on the last syllable.
In time, foyer groups began springing up all over Britain and in America. These groups of Christians shared a common love and concern for one another. Ardmore has had foyer groups meeting for several years in the fall and spring. They have met for dessert or for a meal once a month in each others’ homes.
The groups meet during a four month period, once a month rotating among homes of those in the group.
Notice of new groups forming will be in the Ardmore Announcer, the Sunday Morning Paper, and the Wednesday Niter.
