Soulful Supper
Soulful Suppers – 1st Wednesdays
Soulful Suppers are simple meals (soup and salad is typical) that are prepared and served by various small groups once a month, usually on the first Wednesday evening, at 6:45 pm between Vespers and Singers. Volunteers, N2N groups, and other small groups are encouraged to sign up for a month to prepare and serve the meal, and the groups are encouraged to use the Soul Matters theme or a holiday to inspire their meal.
Join us on Wednesday, May 7
6 pm – Vespers
~6:40 pm – Soulful Supper hosted by N2N Tulips!
Expecting to feed a Thundering Horde of somewhere between 30 and 60 fellow UU diners, we are seeking:
Wednesday, April 2’s Soulful Supper (immediately following 6 pm Vespers) will be a “Stone Soul Supper” event, which is on the order of a “Loaves & Fishes” event, but in all likelihood offers no fish.
Looking for examples of 1st UU’s Radical Hospitality? Here’s an excellent one.
- Salads – we usually get by on 3 or 4 nice big salads & dressings.
- Loaves – at least 3 loaves of bread, at least one of which is gluten free.
- Entrees – 3 or 4 crockpot style dishes, at least one vegan, at least one gluten free, at least one dairy free. Experience suggests we have more omnivores than vegetarians.
- Deserts – 2 or 3 desserts, No Nuts! At least one gluten free, one dairy free.
Please bring your dishes-to-share before 6:15 pm, so we can open the buffet at 6:45
Come, break bread with a room full of other UU’s making plans to Save the World on Wednesday evening. Feel free to come early to help set up, or stay late (till about 8:30 pm) to help clean up.
Kitcheneers – As Needed
The Kitcheneers want YOU! Time commitment is as much or as little as you want. Kitcheneers is a volunteer function for providing food for First UU events such as serving Soulful Suppers, Thanksgiving pot-luck, coffee service, refreshments for memorials, celebrations, VIP visitors, etc.
If you are interested in helping with an event, email kitcheneers@richmonduu.org and mention the event(s) in your memo line.
Kitchen Sink
A reminder, if you use Kitchen cookware and dishes during the week: Please don’t leave dirty dishes sitting in the sink! Dried on food is never good. You don’t have to turn on the dishwasher for a small number of items, but please do rinse them completely and leave them on the counter next to the Dishwasher. Taking personal responsibility greatly eases the task of those preparing a meal for other members of the congregation.
