Our Next Bread Bake is October 2-4
Stop by Hope’s Lounge on Sunday morning, October 4 and pick up a loaf of freshly baked holiday quick bread or some delicious scones. While you are there, consider brightening someone’s day by sharing a baked good with them – perhaps a neighbor, a friend, a family member, a stranger.
This Baking Hope session we’ll be offering:
- Dinkytown Country White with Rosemary
- Maroon & Gold
- Cinnamon Bread
- Dinkytown Wheat Bread
- Delicious Scones
Bread and scones are available for a freewill donation on a first-come, first-served basis until we run out. You can reserve your loaves in advance for pick-up on Sunday morning by emailing your request to Kathy Kufus at kmkufus@icloud.
Your donations from our Baking Hope sessions cover bread baking expenses and fund community pizza events. In addition, a portion of our freshly baked bread is shared with members of Hope through the Friendly Visitor and Compassion Care programs, Portland House, a community-based service offering an alternative to incarceration and prison prevention for men, as well as with the congregation through Holy Communion in worship.
Future 2026-27 Bread Bakes will be offered on Oct 2-4, Nov 13-15, Dec 12-13, Jan 8-10, Feb 12-14, Mar 12-14
Join us for one of our upcoming bread bakes to lend your hands to this centuries-old craft of wood-fired baking this fall, winter and spring! Our pizza bake season starts in May. It is a great way to connect with others, learn something new, share stories, create new memories, and make a meaningful difference in our neighborhood. It is said that baking bread not only nourishes our bodies, but also our souls. It brings us together and creates a sense of community that is much needed in our world today.
For more information on how you can join in the fun, contact Brian Kufus at bkufus462@icloud.com or Rebecca Tetlie at rebecca.tetlie@gmail.com.
