Bring a friend, some food and a sense of fun fellowship for the 4th Annual Old Fashion BBQ Potluck at Unity of Berkeley this Sunday, July 25th, directly after Sunday Service (noon-ish).

On the grill, there will be pork ribs, chicken, beef, salmon, apple chicken sausages and even hot dogs for the kids! Unity will also supply assorted drinks and vegetarian fair for the non-meat eaters.

So what potluck dish should you bring? Your favorite, of course! Keep in mind this is an old-fashioned BBQ, so bring your twist on the classics.

Donations are always welcome to offset the cost of meat and drinks.

Contact Steve Carter with any questions @ 510-517-1541

There will be a Potluck Luncheon after the Sunday Service with our meeting following the refreshments. This is your opportunity to show off that new recipe and/or delight the palates of your community with your favorite dish!

It is Birthday Sunday for March babies, Charles Moselle and Mary Redente will be playing the service and the theme of the message is “Love It and Guide It – Your Soul Powers of Love and Wisdom.” It will be a beautiful day. Plan to join us.
