The Lewis Dinner

 

The Lewis Dinner is Orange County’s premier annual event celebrating the rich history of the Christian faith while encouraging lives of grace and truth in our human affairs on this side of Heaven—to God’s glory! A truly one-of-a-kind event!

 

Named after Clive Staples Lewis—one of the most influential writers and thinkers of the 20th century—this enjoyable evening is meant to be experienced in the company of new and old friends over good food and drink. To be held annually, the dinner will include a talk on the life and work of Lewis—or other historical giants of the Christian faith—in hopes of spurring attendees to Christian fidelity and good works. To enhance this rich, multifaceted experience, the evening will also be accompanied by music, art, and conversation. May our fellowship enliven our imaginations towards our co-creative efforts in the joyful renewal of all things! Alleluia!
