On Potluck Sundays, if possible, bring
your own eating utensils to avoid using disposable ones. Wash them at home
with your next meal’s dishes. If you choose to use the reusable plastic
dishes provided by the Fellowship, please wash them yourself in the kitchen
to reduce the dish washing chore of the hospitality team.
