Agape Feast
Sunday, November 18th
During service 10:30 am to 12:00pm
Potluck, so bring your favorite dish!

Special Service! Live Music! Games! Photo Booth!

At our congregation at the UUSSS, we celebrate this community meal the week before Thanksgiving in celebration of the deep love-love of community, family, friendship, and partners. We look forward to this event every year where we can sit and enjoy each other's delicious offerings and have a more lengthy opportunity to be in fellowship with one another. All are welcome!

The Agape Feast (or Love Feast) originated as a communal meal shared among Christians. The Love Feast  in the early church  was a time of fellowship for believers. In modern times, the Love Feast refers to a Christian ritual meal distinct from the Lord's Supper.

New Pantry Sunday Hours!

Did you know? The Bay Shore Food Pantry is open now some Sundays! Our congregation is strengthening our commitment to supporting community members in need. 

These additional hours will give families and individuals an opportunity to get some nutrition assistance even if they are working during the week. 

  • WHEN: Every First and Third Sunday 12pm -1pm until the end of 2018
  • HOW: People can go to St Patrick's and receive a voucher for the groceries, then come to us
  • PLEASE: Spread the word! This is a test run and needs the community to know in order to keep it open. There is a need, so let's spread the word.​​
