Maine tradition on display

Assistants to United Methodist bishops from across the country held a three-day gathering in Portland in mid-October and one of the requests from participants was to experience a Maine Bean Suppah.

On Oct. 20, our church obliged.

With Beanmeister Stephen Bither organizing the event, our church hosted a modified Bean Suppah for 35 of the assistants, complete with three types of beans, casseroles, salad and, of course, pie for dessert.

Thank you to everyone who helped serve the suppah, provided dishes to share, and cleaned up afterward.

In case you have forgotten, the next regular bean suppah at our church will be on Saturday, Nov. 7 from 4:30-6 p.m. There will not be a bean suppah in December because the first Saturday, Dec. 5, will be the Jolly Snowman Christmas Fair.
