Parish Suppers
We love gathering on Sundays and Wednesdays for fellowship and delicious food!
Sunday Suppers
6:30 p.m. year-round | No reservations needed | Donation-based
The Sunday Community Supper is donation-based; pay what you can. (If you want to cover the cost of your meal and the staff who prepare food and clean up, that’s $10.) Some people like to donate over and above the cost of their meal, since others are unable to donate. It all works out! Everyone is welcome, not just those who attend the Celtic service or Compline.
Volunteers work with staff member Claire Hackley to prepare, serve, and clean up. Please contact Claire if you can help. You do not need to volunteer every Sunday, and if you wish to step away to attend the Celtic service, you may. You also do not need to have advanced cooking skills–just a willingness to help.
Since our menus are based on fresh, local ingredients often purchased just before meal preparation begins, last-minute adjustments can occur. We recommend bookmarking this page so you can easily find it each week.
Menu for Sunday, December 22, 2024

Wednesday Suppers
5:45 p.m.-6:30 p.m. during the program (academic) year | No reservations needed | Suggested donations below
On Wednesday evening during the program (academic) year, St. Stephen’s offers an informal parish supper in the fellowship hall. “Wonderful Wednesdays” are a way to get to know others in this large parish, and the delicious suppers prepared by our coordinator of kitchen ministries and several volunteers provide time for families, couples and friends to reconnect at the dinner table without having to worry about meal planning, cooking or cleaning up.
Supper is served buffet style from 5:45 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. The suggested donation for this supper is $10 for older children (age 10 and up) and adults, $5 for children age 9 and younger, and a family maximum of $30.

Volunteer
Our supper coordinator, Claire Hackley, always welcomes helping hands to prepare, serve, and clean up with her. Please let her know if you’re interested in helping. You don’t need to volunteer every week, but we do ask you to let Claire know in advance to expect you.
We need volunteers for both Sundays and Wednesdays.
