Community Connection

Looking to meet new people, enjoy fun activities, and feel more connected to the Sunriver community? Community Connections might be just what you’re looking for!

Every Thursday from 1:00-2:30 p.m., this gathering offers a relaxed and welcoming space to socialize, laugh, and enjoy various activities together. Community Connection will take place upstairs in the Fellowship Hall. This isn’t a religious event. It’s simply a time to connect with neighbors and make new friends.

Every other Thursday will feature BINGO with prizes while alternating weeks will bring a mix of engaging activities like guest speakers, live music, and different games. Whether you’re new to the area or have lived here for years, this is an easy and friendly way to get to know others. This is a free event, and light refreshments will be provided.

The gatherings will be hosted by Reverend Kally Elliott, along with Sara Sather and Lisa Schmidtke, who are excited to create a space where people can feel at home. Kally Elliott is passionate about creating welcoming spaces where people can connect and build meaningful friendships. Sara Sather lives in Sunriver with her husband and has worked as a Social Director in various settings. Lisa Schmidtke was the founder and director of Spotlight Musical Theater Academy and most recently served as a Life Enrichment Director at Touchmark.

Community Potlucks

Sunriver Christian Fellowship, in partnership with the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce, is sponsoring the revival of the Sunriver Area Community Potluck.  This community favorite is a great way to connect with your neighbors and meet someone from the Sunriver area you might not know.  Over the years the Community Potluck has been the best way to meet and greet new residents, reconnect with old friends, and strengthen our community.  It is a great way to learn about our local businesses, activities and clubs, and get practical information about the “Sunriver Lifestyle.”

Potlucks will be held in the Fellowship Hall of SCF and will be limited to the first 90 people that sign up.  The event will take place on the last Wednesday of the month from January to May this year, from 5:30-7:30 p.m.  Sunriver Christian Fellowship is located at 18139 Cottonwood Drive  (Across from the North Store.) Potluck Dates for your calendar:  January 29, February 26, March 26, April 30, and May 28, 2025.  Sign-ups for each month will be taken after the first day of the month.

The fee is $5 per person (cash preferred) which will offset expenses.  Each person is asked to bring their own place settings– plate, silverware, napkin, cup or glass.  Water and coffee will be provided.  Bring a potluck item – Main Dish, Side Dish, Salad, or Dessert –  to feed 5 people per person (10 for each pair of attendees)  and a serving implement.  Tables will be assigned as you check-in, and name tags will be provided.

You must sign up (by email only) to reserve your place at the table.  We will have a waiting list – so it is important to keep us updated if you cannot attend for some reason.  Room capacity is limited to 90 people, so don’t hesitate! Click Here to Learn More
