Time for Lunch
Many people have commented that it’s been nice to have bagels and fruit available along with coffee and tea after the service on Sundays. So, starting this month, we’d like to experiment with doing this every week! Typically, this will be a light meal that is simple to prepare for a crowd and easy to nibble while chatting (with bagels and fruit a likely default). At times, there may be a more substantial sit-down meal. Donations to help cover costs will be gratefully accepted.
Here’s how you can help:
- Sign up to be a part of the Lunch Bunch, which will schedule and coordinate contributors.
- If you are part of a Task Force, Team, Committee, Chalice Circle, or other group, sign up to host a lunch! You might choose to do this as a service project or as a fundraiser (which requires advance approval; contact admin@uubloomington.org for the fundraising form), to recruit volunteers to your group, or to raise awareness for your function or cause. The possibilities are endless!
- Individuals, families, and ad hoc groups are welcome to host a lunch too, to celebrate a milestone or just because.
- Our resources and guidelines will make it easy. We recommend having at least 7 volunteers present on the day of the lunch.
- Spread the word, participate, and enjoy!
Sharing a meal together as a congregation offers an opportunity for people to get to know each other better, share ideas, and make new connections. It’s a way to feed the mind, body, and soul! Hopefully, too, it will provide the sustenance people need in order to stay awhile after the service on Sundays for meetings, classes, and other programs.
