Ways to Get Involved with Community Supper

1) Volunteer as an individual Server

Whether you can help once or become a regular, your time makes a real difference. The commitment is about 2 hours on a Friday, and the tasks are simple but essential—setting tables, serving food, and tidying up afterward. No experience needed. Sign up today!

2) Volunteer or Sponsor a Meal as an Organization

Are you connected with an organization that would like to sponsor a meal or organize a group to volunteer together? Community supper is truly a community-wide effort, and your organization can make a huge impact while also strengthening your team and having fun. Email office@midducc.org and we will make sure to connect you with the community supper team!

3) Show up to a Friday night meal

Community Supper is not JUST about a free meal—it’s about sharing stories, building connections, and creating a space where neighbors become friends. Simply by showing up, you can contribute a great deal to making this a welcoming community for everyone at the table. Pull up a chair and join us, every Friday evening at 5 p.m. in Fellowship Hall.

Our church has set a goal of donating three tons of food to the HOPE food shelf this year. We’re just shy of reaching our first 2,000 pounds of food donated to HOPE this year — and July is the perfect month to push us over the top!

This month’s theme is Picnic Basket, and we’re calling on everyone to think out of the box and into the basket! What’s in your picnic basket?

🧂 Ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish

🥒 Pickles (yes to these heavy jars!)

🔥 BBQ sauce, hot sauce, or grilling spice rubs

🥗 Salad dressings — ranch, Italian, vinaigrettes

🍝 Pasta salads or boxed macaroni salad kits

🌽 Canned baked beans or corn

🍉 Shelf-stable treats like lemonade mix, iced tea, or cookies

These heavier items help us reach our goal faster — and add joy to a neighbor’s table this summer! Bring in a bottle, a bag, or a basketful!

🧺 Drop donations off to the office (9-12) any time during the week or bring them with you on Sunday!

Let’s feed HOPE — and hit a TON! We are so close!

Whether you’ve read Anne Lamott before or are just hearing her name for the first time, this three-week book study offers a fresh and welcoming approach to prayer. In Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers, Lamott reminds us that prayer doesn’t need to be complicated or polished—it can be raw, honest, and deeply human.

Led by Pastoral Intern Eliana Cañas Parra, this study creates space for reflection, conversation, and connection—whether you're seeking comfort, clarity, or a renewed spiritual practice. Each week will focus on one of the “essential prayers” that anchor Lamott’s simple yet powerful framework.

Wednesdays from 12-1 p.m in Unity Hall:

• July 15 – Prelude & Help
• July 22 – Thanks
• July 29 – Wow

All are welcome—no need to read the book in advance to take part. Come as you are!

Helping Hands won't be meeting in July. We'll resume our regular work sessions on the first Monday in August! Stay tuned!

The walking group meets at a different location each Monday morning to enjoy some fresh air and community. Interested in joining next week? email office@midducc.org to confirm the location for our next walk!
