LENT DINNERS START AT 5:30 THIS COMING WEDNESDAY!!
Over the last many, many years your Jr. and Sr. high youth and their parents (mostly their parents) have been serving dinner on Wednesday nights during Lent. While this is a good way for the youth and their parents to serve and give back to the congregation, it is also supposed to be a way for them to raise money for their service projects and trips.
Unfortunately over the past several years, they have barely broken even on these dinners. The parents usually donate the desserts and even much of the other food out of their own pockets. Without that the youth would probably lose money.
It is especially important that they make money this year, as they will need all they can get to make their goal for the National Youth Gathering in new Orleans.
I want to encourage you all to attend these dinners, and, while there is no set price per person for these dinners, a generous free will offering is strongly encouraged!!
Below is the Menu for each week:
Feb. 10-- Ash Wednesday
Fried chicken
potatoes
fruit
rolls
assorted desserts
Feb 17-
Chili
baked potato bar
hotdogs
desserts
Feb 24-

March 2-

As always, thank you for your continued support of the future of Christianity!!!
