We’re re-setting the welcome table.

In many Black families, the welcome table was the place where everyone was fed, stories were shared, and no one had to explain why they needed to be there.

In a moment when many people feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure where they belong, we’re choosing to gather again.

Soul Food Sunday is a monthly space to share food, stories, and quiet conversation across generations.

No expectations. No pressure. Just a table where you are welcome.

Join us January 11 from 12 – 2 p.m. There’s a seat for you.

“Late one evening, near the end of August 1850, a young woman named Clara slipped quietly from a house on Middle Street in Bath, Maine. She stepped into a carriage that headed towards a farm in Brunswick while her enslavers slept unaware. With assistance from local Black residents, she evaded recapture and took a new name—Mary Heuston. Her self-emancipation offers an opportunity to explore, through a local lens, broader themes of Black freedom and oppression in the context of the wider Atlantic maritime world of the mid-19th century.”
