As we enter the season of Autumn (yes, we know it’s not much different here in Florida), it’s time for a Harvest Celebration. And what could be better than a church-wide potluck dinner/lunch? This food-fellowship event will take place after worship on October 27 instead of coffee fellowship. This will be a time to welcome back more of our seasonal church family, to let more people meet and get to know (and love) our pastor Rev. Ben Richards, a chance to enjoy casual dining with church friends, and a chance to fill up on beef brisket and/or baby back pork ribs prepared by our own Executive Chef Russ Baird!
This is an opportunity to spend time with your church family and invite your friends and neighbors to join us. This is not a fund-raising event… it’s about sharing our love with our church family and guests… and, of course, about having a wonderful meal. Those attending are asked to bring a side dish to share: vegetables, salads, desserts. Although we don’t want to end up with 20 green bean casseroles, for example, it won’t be the end of the world if more than one person signs up for the same food item – recipes do vary. Please utilize the sign-up sheet in the back of the sanctuary before the event, or you can simply reply to this email and Ben will add you and your dish to the list.
If you’re unsure what to bring, this might be an opportunity to use the First Bonita cookbook from our 100 birthday celebration in 2021. You’ll find lots of special recipes there, and if you don’t have one, there are more available!
The sign-up sheet will also include a spot for those wishing to help set up or clean up. The event is being organized by the Formational Leadership Team led by Debbie Lane. You won’t want to miss this event.
