Share the Plate

“Share the Plate” will be split with half going to support our Fellowship’s ministries, and the other half going to support a worthy organization.

November 2025 Share the Plate:

Double Portion Soup Kitchen and Food Pantry

Our Share the Plate recipient for November is Double Portion at St. Thomas Church in Menasha. Double Portion serves hot meals three days a week, offers a food pantry, and offers monthly grocery bags for those unable to come during their daytime hours. There are many organizations feeding people in our community right now, and we’re excited to support one of them through our Share the Plate program this month. You can learn more about Double Portion at doubleportionsoupkitchen.com.

November Focus: It’s Just a Phase
Earth Teacher – Moon

“It’s just a phase,” the moon reminds us. Our wholeness is not dependent on our size, or brightness, or what we can do for others. Whatever we have, there it is. Wherever we are, there we are. Gratitude comes from this practice of remembering the transience of everything and honoring each phase as it comes. Our history, our triumphs, our struggles. We honor these truths at our Fellowship this November with gratitude for this phase, this moment, and these people.
