Circle Suppers are back! Sign up now to join the May 21 Circle Supper at the home of Hilarie Cash in Duvall. The sign-up sheet is here; it is the same document every month so you can bookmark it for the future.

For those of you who don’t know (or have forgotten what it means to have dinner at someone’s house!), Circle Suppers are potlucks held at a different community member’s house each month. I create a sign-up sheet in a Google Doc, and anyone who wants to attend can put their name down along with their dietary preferences and what they are bringing. The host sets the maximum size of the gathering and any optional specifics such as discussion topics or menu themes. The default is for attendees to be 18 and older, though hosts may choose to have child-friendly events. The date is usually the second Saturday of the month.

If you’re looking to host a Circle Supper, let me know soon because we’ve had a good response and the months are filling up. I still need hosts for September and November.

Finally, as you know, the numbers are trending in the right direction but the pandemic is not over yet. These events are sanctioned by the church and subject to the community guidelines requiring vaccinations and other precautions, and they are not risk free. As well, the COVID Response Team is continuing to monitor the latest health data and negative trends could cause them to reevaluate the type of events that are allowed at any given time.

Hope to hear from you soon! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
