Upcoming Post-Worship Potlucks
We are excited for our next series of post-worship potlucks. Here are out topics for the coming weeks:
October 13 – Sermon Stammtisch – deeper conversation about the lectionary texts and Sunday sermon.
October 20 – Fall Festival Preparations – Feel free to bring food to share and help us get ready for the Fall Festival beginning at 1:30!
October 27 – Reformation Jeopardy! – You won’t want to miss this fun Reformation Trivia event…and perhaps some food reminiscent of 1600’s Germany…?
November 3 – All Saints Stammtisch – conversation on the sermon and All Saints Sunday. Feel free to bring a dish that honors the memory of a loved one (and a recipe card to share), if you wish.
November 10 – Inside Out 2 Movie Matinee – We’ll have some themed treats and discussion starters, and then a screening of Pixar’s most recent film, beginning at noon, with discussion to follow. Activities for all ages will be available. (Note, this session will extend a bit longer than the usual potluck, until about 2:30 pm.)
You are always invited to bring a dish to share or a brown bag lunch. See you there!

Faith & Civic Life – Putting it into Practice
This Sunday for potluck, we will follow up on our previous series by holding a ballot research session where folks can look over their sample ballot and research down ballot candidates and other issues for the upcoming election. We will also go over the legislative priorities that have been released by Texas Impact for the upcoming Texas State Legislative Session beginning in January.
You are invited to bring a dish to share or a brown bag lunch. You may want to print your sample ballot ahead of time, if you can. See you there!
