Please bring in a taste of "home for the holidays," wherever "home" may be for you! We have church members from all over the country and would love to have a chance to share and learn what traditions we bring with us to NYC. What might we eat from Massachusetts, Alabama, Wyoming, and Wisconsin? For our native New Yorkers - what is a taste of a New York Christmas, to you? What cuisines do we represent from all corners of the globe?

As you make your selection, please be mindful of:

-Variety! If we have a lot of one kind of meat or side dish, see what you can do to shake things up and give folks more choice.

-Inclusivity! We have members who have health concerns - let's see if we can offer some low-sodium or health-conscious options that are tasty and welcoming.

-Kid-friendliness! If possible, consider deconstructing part of your dish in case it could work well for the littles. (Sauces, etc. might go on side, or consider having a spicy and not-spicy option.)

This is going to be fun - see you there!
