great way to get to know people in the congregation better. The conversations are always interesting, the
company enjoyable, and the food tasty.
And while they are potlucks, we still need someone to host them in their
homes. </p>

hosts for Feb. through Dec. 2020. The
Circle Suppers are usually on the first Saturday of each month, but they could
also be scheduled for the second Saturday for convenience or because of
scheduling conflicts. Please check your
calendars and see if you could host a Circle Supper for one of these
months: </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times,serif">Hosts typically
provide the place, tableware and refreshments (and a dish if you want ). We work within whatever limitations you may
set (numbers of people, child-friendly house or not). We even have a handy list which summarizes
the details of hosting a Circle Supper.
In the past, people have hosted Circle Suppers at the Fellowship Hall
(if they wanted more space or if an outdoor dinner got rained out) and even
teamed up as hosts to spread the chores.
The main idea is to get together, enjoy companionship, and get to know each
other better. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times,serif">So, if you have enjoyed
our Circle Suppers in the past, please consider hosting one, and let me know if
you can do it. It is an effective way to
enhance the life of the congregation, and it’s a lot of fun as well. </p>
