Welcome to The Community Meal
Good food, great neighbors, welcoming table.

At American Reformed Church, we believe some of the best moments in life happen around a shared dinner table. That’s why we’re hosting The Community Meal—a free quarterly gathering in the ARC Center (Gym) designed to bring our neighborhood together over delicious food, warm conversation, and family fun.

Whether you’ve lived in Worthington your whole life, are new to the area, or are looking for a fun, stress-free Sunday evening meal with your family, you are warmly invited. Come hungry, leave full, and make a few new friends along the way!
