This morning at Trinity Episcopal Church, Lawrence, Kansas, we were discussing the upcoming monthly church-wide gathering for food, which occurs on Friday evening at the home of a parishioner. I learned that it used to be called "Supper Club" until someone suggested it sounded like you needed to be a member of something in order to be welcomed. So, with that epiphany, the decision was made to refer to the gathering as the monthly "Potluck Supper." How's that for working to make the church a truly inclusive place for "all sorts and conditions of people?"

Your point is well taken. A bit history/trivia here….the group was called “Potluck Group” or something like that at its inception. Then all of a sudden a few years ago, the name changed to “Supper Club.” I’m glad to see the original name back.

Thanks, Carl. I’m also looking forward to the fall Progressive Supper, which will probably involve even more people It will help any of these gatherings if “regulars” will go out of their way to invite “newbies.”
