This morning at Trinity Episcopal Church, Lawrence, Kansas, we were discussing the upcoming monthly church-wide gathering for food, which occurs on Friday evening at the home of a parishioner. I learned that it used to be called "Supper Club" until someone suggested it sounded like you needed to be a member of something in order to be welcomed. So, with that epiphany, the decision was made to refer to the gathering as the monthly "Potluck Supper." How's that for working to make the church a truly inclusive place for "all sorts and conditions of people?"

Our Historic Galveston Home
- Noted Galveston leader R. Waverly Smith commissioned architect George Stowe to design and build this house in 1896. The house survived The Great Storm of 1900, the 1915 Hurricane, Hurricane Carla, and, more recently, Hurricane Ike. We have lived here and loved this place for ten years. If houses can love people, she has certainly loved us! Enjoy this album of some photos we've taken to share with people like you.
Photos: Ike Survivors in Our Galveston Garden
- In the early morning hours of September 13, 2008, Hurricane Ike struck Galveston Island. The storm surge from the back side of the island inundated a large portion of the island. Twenty-four inches of salt water covered our lawn and gardens. This album contains photographs depicting the resiliency of the trees, shrubs, and other plants in our garden eight months after the storm. Ron Pogue Rogationtide 2009

Your point is well taken. A bit history/trivia here....the group was called "Potluck Group" or something like that at its inception. Then all of a sudden a few years ago, the name changed to "Supper Club." I'm glad to see the original name back.

Thanks, Carl. I'm also looking forward to the fall Progressive Supper, which will probably involve even more people It will help any of these gatherings if "regulars" will go out of their way to invite "newbies."
