Hospitality Committee Meeting after Worship this Sunday

We’ll hold a brief meeting in the library following the worship service this Sunday. The purpose is to finalize the planning for the all-church barbecue on Sunday, May 5.

VPC Barbecue Potluck Lunch Sunday, May 5: Bring Friends and Family

Our annual barbecue lunch with a South of the Border theme (Cinco de Mayo) will be held right after church service next Sunday, May 5. Depending on the weather, we’ll set up seating both outside and inside. This is always a fun, festive occasion, so be sure to join us, and feel free to bring along friends and family. We’ll be serving burgers (beef and veggie), along with some Mexican dishes.

Hospitality will provide the burgers and beverages, as well as cooked chicken for tacos. A signup sheet will be on the table by the office. We’ll need side dishes to accompany the burgers (think chips/dips/salsas/slaw/beans, etc.) as well as desserts. We’re also looking for Mexican side dishes and taco fixings.

We’ll set up the Social Hall on Saturday, May 4, and are looking for a few volunteers to set up tables and help decorate. Even if you aren’t able to contribute a dish or to help set up or clean up, please come and be part of this fun Spring event!

If you can lend a hand, please text Nancy Tucker at (818) 259-1770.

We are working with the providers to agree on a date; more information will be provided.
