Alton, Mo. – It is official, and the preparations for our Community Potluck are underway! Alton is hosting a community-wide potluck. In celebration of our nation’s 250th birthday, they are planning music, honors, and, of course, food. And it is all FREE! Here are the details.
What Is Happening?
The Alton Assembly of God, in partnership with the ministerial alliance, is hosting a potluck dinner. Invitations have been sent to each church (or to as many as have addresses) requesting their participation. This started in Alton and is quickly moving throughout the county!
Some of the planned activities include patriotic music, food, and snow cones. We will be honoring our veterans. If you are a veteran or know one, we want to honor you. You can wear your uniform, but it is not required.
When Is This?
Mark your calendars. This occurs on Sunday, July 5, 2026, between 1 and 4 pm. This is the holiday weekend, celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday with fireworks celebrations around the area. But no fireworks on Sunday. Just a lot of family-friendly fun and community togetherness.
Who Can Come?
This event is open to everyone in the county. However, if there are friends and family members in the area due to the holiday, they are welcome, too. This is open to all ages.
Where Is This Happening?
This is happening on the courthouse square, facing the license bureau. There is plenty of room for everyone. Toilets are reserved. Please bring your own chair.
Cost?
There is no cost to attend. However, they do want to have an idea of how many people to expect. You can go to the website to express your interest. You can go as an individual, family, or group. Businesses and churches can help out. You need not be a church member to attend.
Also, if you can help out in any way. Can you bake a dessert? Bring a main dish? Can you help clean up afterward? There is a place for everyone. If you do not want to cook or clean, they will take donations. You can make a check out to the ministerial alliance and mail it to the Alton Assembly of God Church.
Isn’t it about time we set aside our differences and come together in a spirit of unity? There are so many things we do agree on.
