What are In-Home Dinners?

In-Home Dinners are an opportunity for members and friends of First Parish of Sudbury (FPS) to have dinner with 6-10 people in the private homes of our members and friends. The dinners are potluck, with the host/hostess arranging what people will bring to ensure there is a balanced meal. Every effort is made to accommodate special needs, such as dietary restrictions, a mostly vegetarian meal, accessibility to the house, food, and pet allergies, etc.

How does it work? 

  • People volunteer to host a dinner or lunch, indicating the dates(s) to host and the number of people (including those already in the household) that can be accommodated at the dinner table.
  • Those who want to attend a dinner choose a date and a backup date (if possible) to attend.
  • The hosts/hostesses and attendees are matched. 
  • Each host is provided with a list of attendees for that event.
  • The host/hostess contacts the attendees for that dinner and coordinates what each person will bring. (Main dish, side dish, salad, appetizer, dessert, beverages, etc.)

How do I participate?
