With all this “pot-luckiness” going around, it’s time forPOTLUCK 101! woo-hoo!Chris Gordon, our director of Elementary Ministry,grew up in the Lutheran church, where the “Hotdish” isright up there with the 95 Theses (notice both are capi-talized!). She learned early on that for a successfulpotluck you need to:

But Mrs. Sundberg (aka Garrison Keillor) says it best…

—bring enough for 3 fami-lies the size of yours

—put your name on apiece of tape on the bot-tom of your serving dish

—it doesn’t matter whobrings what…there willalways be enough of ev-erything

—you can never have toomany dishes involvingbeans. Really!

—stay and help clean upafterwards, or at the veryleast, wash your own dish

—bring your “A” game;the potluck is your chanceto show off your skills inthe kitchen!
