Join us for good eats and fellowship with your church family!
Please bring an entree or side dish to share. If your dish involves the use of a crockpot, we will have plug-in stations in the Commons prior to the service for you to use!
This is an outdoor picnic, so be sure to bring your lawn chairs, blankets, and/or tents!
REGISTER HERE so we can plan accordingly!
In addition to our outdoor potluck, we're bringing back another round of the Great UPC Bake-Off featuring prizes for the winners of each category! Get baking, friends! We can't wait to see (and taste) what everyone creates.
