This season we will meet on the first and third Saturdays of each month from 2pm – 3:30pm at Reeb. Contact Mike Stimson if there are any songs you want to sing and he will print them out for Saturday. If you want to be added to the Reeb Folk Group mailing list, please contact Mike.
All are welcome. See our upcoming services page for more information, or sign up for our weekly email with this form. We support wearing masks at JRUUC events if you so choose. Services are also available at this Zoom Link.
Eating together is one way we build community! Every third Sunday after the service (usually around 11:30-12:30) we gather together to share a meal. Most months, this is a potluck meal where folks are encouraged to either bring a dish to share. We accept cash donations to help defray the costs, but everyone should feel free to come to the meal regardless of their ability to bring a dish or donation. Gluten-free and vegan options are always provided.
January Meal – 1/19. The meal will be a potluck with everyone encouraged to bring a dish to share. All are welcome regardless of their ability to bring a dish.
February Meal – 2/16. This meal will be a chili cookoff! Come sample chilis from Reeb’s many talented chefs or toss your chef hat in the ring to compete to be ultimate chili champions! Stay tuned for more details.
Please contact Genevieve at re@jruuc.org to sign up with a dish if you can, or just bring one at the last minute! Your support is what helps us be able to continue this important community building and fellowship. Thank you!
