One of the big events in the non-liturgical year at my Church is a community Thanksgiving Dinner.
On Thanksgiving Day. Hooray! Somewhere to go for Thanksgiving Dinner.
It's WONDERFUL. And needed.
Central Methodist Church on New Hope road does Christmas dinner on the same basis. It has not been an issue for me the last three years, I have been spending Christmas with my Mother.
It's a massive undertaking, they deliver to all the unserved meals on wheels and the county sheriff, plus the sit down and take outs. My main concern is the washing up from the sit down portion, this year I counted 155 plates through the dish washer. Plus all the silverware, desert plates, etc.
A LOT of church people eating dinner, when I took a quick peak out the kitchen door.
Just wanted to record the number somewhere for next year, 155. Will try and add a number for carry outs (by RSVP, starting at 1:00) later in the week. Carry outs sort of got out of control a couple of years ago, thus the requirement for reservations. The Kitchen still had to fend off requests from the dining room for "to go" boxes, it turns out we had just about the right quantity of food. A couple of unclaimed carry outs left in the refrigerator.
For some reason we ran out of Gravy, it's either too much or too little. This year someone accidently bumped the stove and burned the second pot.
