This is a time of sharing a meal, fellowship, and fun! We had a great time last year and would like to try it again. Here’s how it works: you can sign up as a host or attendee. The host will provide the place, beverage and meat. The attendee will provide one (or two) part(s) of the meal (salad, dessert, potato, or vegetable and bread, this will be assigned). The fun part is that no one knows who is coming to dinner. The host only knows the number of attendees. The attendees will find out who their host is on Sunday morning, September 30th, but they will not know who else is dining with them. This is a family affair, your children and teenagers are invited to come along with you. You should have a sign up sheet in your mailboxes. There are extra sign up sheets on the back table. Sheets need to be turned in by TODAY! You will get your assignment in your mail box September 23. If you have any questions please contact Megan Taatjes.COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
