Food and Fellowship

$2000 goal

Enjoying a meal together allows people to get to know one another in a way we can’t when we are in worship together.  When we break bread together, we nourish both our bodies and our spirits.  We chat about our lives, our joys, our sorrows, and our hopes for the future.

Our Community Luncheons happen on the second and third Sundays of each month from September through May. Attendance at the luncheons has been breaking records with more than 80 people attending.  Small groups of church members volunteer to cook the meals, and we don’t expect them to pay for it out of their own pocket!  Yet we still want it to be a free or “pay it forward” lunch.

Tuesday’s Welcome Table is a free vegan dinner every Tuesday at 6pm from September through May.  Michael Leuchtenberger usually is the head cook, and this year Dania Jones will be the head cook once a month.  These laid-back dinners are a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, connect with old friends, or just have a night off from cooking.  People of all ages are welcome!

On Christmas Eve, we have a free community dinner in between our two Christmas Eve services.  It started many years ago for people who didn’t have family nearby to be with.  It has grown to include anyone who wants to be there!  Concord UU is truly a warm and wonderful place to be on Christmas Eve.

These are just a few examples of the ways food brings us together in community. If you enjoy these delicious opportunities to socialize with other church members, or you want to ensure free meals for everyone, please consider a donation.
