Christmas Potluck
Sunday Dec. 10th
After the church service, at 12:30 PM.
Can you solve the “food puzzle” in this poster?
The Three Wise Men brought gold, frankincense and myrrh to Jesus. G, F, M.
Let’s use the beginning letters of these three gifts (G, F, M) as inspiration for what we will bring to share. For example,
Guacamole starts with G, so you can choose to bring tortilla chips and dip.
Fruit starts with F, so how about bringing a fruit salad featuring your favourite fruit?
Or Mince and meat both start with M, so how about bringing a mince pie, or a meatloaf?
Plenty of room for your creativity and practicality in this busy season.
You are invited to Fundy Seaside Christmas Potluck: Sunday Dec. 10th. 12:30 PM.
PS: There is an option for folks who may prefer to drop off their G, F, or M dishes at the church, if they will not be available to join our potluck in person.
Come one, come all!
