Join us as we read through the Bible. We enjoy what everyone has to bring to the table for our discussion. Shared life experiences and different backgrounds makes for a much richer Bible Study.

Join Crafty Space for Fiber Club right here at Gatherings. Bring a project, craft or otherwise and come join us for some giggles. All are welcome.

We rent our space! Since we are an operating building with lots constantly going on, we do only have rentals available on Sundays.

We try to keep the space available for everyone, so we have kept the rental fee to a manageable amount for just about anyone. There were times when our kiddos were little where we would have loved to do something for their birthday but we were priced out, we are doing our best to make sure that isnt the case here in Dexter.

This space has been used for birthdays, bridal showers, baby showers, celebrations of life, holiday parties and other celebrations. Please feel free to email us at gatherings4mainstreet@gmail.com for more information.

Margaret will teach you how to create a more balanced lifestyle. By learning the habits and information she shares, you get the benefits of a healthier immune system, better physical strength, and, as a side effect, a sustainable healthy weight. Her passion comes from her own battle and victory with MS. Because of how this changed her life she wants to empower others to change theirs.

Margaret is finishing up a class this month. If you are interested and would like to sign up for a future class please email us at gatherings4mainstreet@gmail.com.

Who doesn’t love Bob Ross? Ethan started painting with our oldest daughter when she was still a toddler to the Bob Ross videos. We want to bring this fun and exciting way to learn how to paint with oils to Dexter. Ethan is always there to help instruct as you watch through Bob’s video.
