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. Fill out this form to connect!

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.

All are welcome to join mid-stream to Pastor Elizabeth's Deepening Our Faith class which meets on Tuesdays at noon. FYI, these are the new dates and content!

All are invited to participate in a De-escalation Training on Sunday, May 4 from 12:00–3:30 p.m. at the church. Lunch is provided!

Led by Mourning Fox of Caldera Associates, LLC, this free, 3-hour workshop offers practical tools for navigating tense or risky situations in worship or any other public setting. Whether you’re a leader, volunteer, or just want to feel more confident in unexpected moments, this training is for you.

Through engaging teaching and real-world insight, participants will learn:

- How to recognize early warning signs of aggression

- Techniques for responding calmly and effectively

- The power of active listening and respectful communication

- Ways to talk with others during and after a crisis

The training includes some helpful brain science and lessons drawn from years of experience in crisis prevention, law enforcement, and mental health. It’s open to all church members—no prior experience needed.

We hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity to grow in compassion, confidence, and care for one another.
