A Guide for Bringing Food

You are invited to bring a dish to share for our Sunday meals beginning right after the worship service about once a month.

You are encouraged to bring food that is special or normal for you.
You can bring little or much.
You are welcome to make the food or purchase it.
To make sure everyone has plenty to eat, it is helpful to have about 16 main dishes along with side dishes, rice, drinks & desserts.
To ensure there is appropriate food for everyone, it is very helpful to have some vegetarian food, gluten-free food and dairy-free food.

It is helpful to label food
- What it is, and perhaps what culture or country it represents
- List potential food allergens, such as dairy, nuts, eggs, wheat
- How spicy it is

When to bring it
- 9:45–9:55 am on the Sunday of the meal is best
For our Easter Breakfast, bring it by 8:45 am
What to do with it when you arrive:
- If it needs to stay warm or cold, ask the Meal Coordinator.
- If it can be room temperature, you can leave it on the serving table.
No need to bring serving utensils (like a serving spoon or fork). Crossway will provide.
What to do as the meal finishes up:
- Don’t forget to take home your dishes.
- We look for several people to take tablecloths to wash and return as well the silverware. Thanks to all who help!
