And don’t forget to bring a dish to share and stay for the potluck after the service!
Potluck This Sunday After Church (21 April 2013)
Whether you cook or bake your specialty, or slave over a hot takeout counter, bring a dish to share and stay for a meal and some time together with your All Souls community.
Help needed with Set-Up and Clean-Up
Much of our regular potluck crew will be busy with other obligations this week, so it’s a great time for some new faces helping out in the social hall. If you can help set up, please come around 10:30 AM.
Also, those who work the Highland Dinner have learned how quickly the cleanup goes when everyone helps so be sure to stick around for the Big Finish.
