Classic Adult Fellowship

Classic Adult Fellowship (CAF) of White’s Chapel is a group that definitely agrees with Lincoln! Anyone can grow old, but our mantra is to continue to experience new things, as well as celebrate our history and common bonds through fellowship. CAF is a great group to belong to if you are in your fifties or older, love the Lord, and enjoy having fun in group settings! You do not need to be a member of White’s Chapel to enjoy time with us; all are welcome and encouraged to be a part of a great network of friends. From veterans to retired teachers and beyond, we can all find a place to belong through Christ’s love. If living life to the fullest is on your to-do list, we’ll save a seat for you!
"In the end, its not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."

- Abraham Lincoln

CAF luncheons are a wonderful place to meet new people, catch up with friends, have a great meal, and enjoy great entertainment or special speakers. On the last Friday of the month, you can find us in Evans Hall at White’s Chapel. We are blessed with the best chefs and kitchen staff ever! We have themed luncheons that include dishes like pot roast, Mexican food, Italian spreads, salads, soups, and even a chili-cookoff. Of course, after your meal, be sure to save room for dessert as we have our very own pastry chef, Joey Pecararo that will create something fabulous! It’s a good thing that we only have luncheons once a month with all the yummy food! Not only are the meals wonderful, but you will be very entertained! From country and western and oldies themed bands to soloists, demonstrations, and even fashion shows, you are sure to enjoy yourself! We’ve had everything from an FBI agent, to Kraig Parker - famous Elvis Tribute Artist! One thing is for sure, you won’t leave hungry or bored! Above all, we love to visit with one another - sharing life’s special moments, friendships, and God’s love. Donations are accepted and appreciated for luncheons with check-in at 10:30 a.m. and starting at 11. Check the CAF seasonal newsletters for specific themes, menus, and dates.
​“Classic Cowboy” Luncheon
Friday, Jan. 31 | Check-in begins at 10:30 a.m. | Evans Hall 
Join Classic Adult Fellowship for a rip-roarin’ good time at our first 2020 luncheon! The luncheon will start at 11 a.m. and last until about 12:30 p.m. Get your mouths ready for chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, home-style green beans, and more! Finish it off with some country desserts from Chef Joey. While you eat, enjoy some great country-western entertainment! Reservations are recommended and donations are accepted at the door. 
​
Another place to connect with the group is at monthly CAF movies! Join us the first Thursday of the month for a free movie with fresh popcorn, candy, and drinks! Starting at 1:30 p.m. in Rawlins Hall, we gather to enjoy each other’s company and a great movie. Current hits as well as oldies-but-goodies are shown on a large screen and selections are typically geared toward titles that the group would find interesting. WC is a great place to get away and watch a movie without the typical crowded theater! For this month’s movie selection, check the CAF seasonal newsletter.
