Your dish should show up in its holiday best with a splash of red\, a pop of green\, or both. Get creative\, get colorful\, and let’s make our potluck table look like Christmas itself showed up hungry. \nBring your merry masterpiece and join us for a meal that’s equal parts delicious and dazzling. \nSign up to let us know what you’ll be bringing:\nSign Up for the Potluck

SUMMARY:"Let's Pretend" Potluck
DESCRIPTION:This is a let’s pretend potluck. Everyone brings food\, and we collectively agree to pretend that everyone made what they brought. We’re aiming for a mix of appetizers and entrees so the table feels abundant and everyone leaves full. Frozen or premade is not just allowed\, it’s encouraged. Think spanakopita\, potstickers\, stuffed mushrooms\, meatballs\, mac and cheese trays\, enchiladas\, curry\, lasagna\, or anything else that heats up well and feeds people. \nThe goal is minimal stress and maximum enjoyment. Bring something you like\, not something that exhausts you. Warm it\, set it out\, and enjoy the shared meal. No pressure\, no perfection\, just good food and good company.

SUMMARY:Open Mic Coffee Hour
DESCRIPTION:Open Mic Coffee Hour is exactly what it sounds like. After worship\, we’re turning coffee hour into a low stakes open mic. Music\, poetry\, comedy\, short readings\, stories\, or something wonderfully undefinable. If you’ve got a thing you’ve been wanting to share\, this is a friendly room to try it. We’re hoping for five or six short acts to keep things moving and lively. \nThis is not a talent show and it is not a competition. It’s coffee\, community\, and creativity in whatever form it takes. Come to perform\, come to listen\, come to clap enthusiastically. Stay for the caffeine\, the courage\, and the joy of seeing what your community can do. \nIf you have an act you’re excited to share\, please let us know by filling out this form:\nhttps://hillsidemedford.churchcenter.com/people/forms/1132403

SUMMARY:Soup-er Bowl Potluck
DESCRIPTION:Winter asks for soup. We are answering. \nJoin us for a cozy community meal built around big pots of soup\, good bread\, simple salads\, and all the things that make soup better — crackers\, rolls\, and dunkable sides. Bring a soup\, a loaf\, a salad\, or something crunchy if you can. Come hungry either way. \nThis is not about culinary perfection. It is about warmth\, conversation\, and the simple pleasure of eating together while winter does its thing outside. \nAll ages welcome. Bowls provided. Community guaranteed. \nLet us know what you’re bringing:\nhttps://www.PerfectPotluck.com/LHJJ2032 \n
