On November 24, we will be having a Bread Communion.
From the UUA:
In bread communion, people bring different kinds of bread to share. Some bring breads that are part of their cultural heritage, like pita bread from the Middle East, or Irish soda bread.
Breads around the world are very different, but every civilization that has ever lived on the earth has made some type of bread. This communion reminds us that we all need food to live, that we must share our one earth which feeds us all. It also reminds us to share our unique gifts with one another, so all can be fed.
So if you have a bread that's special to your family/heritage, plan to bring some to share, homemade or store bought. Or, if you just have a favorite style of bread you would like to share, bring that. Interpret "bread" as loosely as you would like.
We'll have toppings such as butter, honey and jam available but feel free to bring anything that you especially like with your bread. We also traditionally serve apple cider with the bread so that will be available as well.

Greetings from the Inn!
Despite the temperate weather, Jefferson City Room at the Inn is gearing up for our winter season! We will open to guests on December 1, but before we can open we need to train our volunteers! Our two training dates: November 14 and November 19, both at 6:30pm in First Baptist Church's Fellowship Hall.
In case someone asks, both dates will have the same content, so volunteers need only attend one or the other. Also, attending a training is recommended but not required in order to volunteer at the Inn.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
Peace,
Sarah Hamilton, JCRATI Chair
