What great weather and a big turnout for our first Wednesday back at church for education classes and supper.  We had just over 500 who came out for a cookout meal of hamburgers and hotdogs, watermelon, salads, and lots of homemade cookies.  The worship service at 6:30 was lively with music, puppets and especially with a huge group of Kindergartners and their families who celebrated a Milestone Blessing of the Backpacks. Many people were overheard exclaiming how happy they are to have Wednesday nights at church again!  It’s great to be back!

IMG_7300Hello…my name is Karla Mitzel.   I am your new Hospitality Coordinator.
This is an exciting new venture in my life.  Food, family & friends have always been important to me.  My dream has been to own my own restaurant,  so I’m thinking this is a far better choice!!
I’m looking forward to all adventure & challenges that are coming my way!!
Please feel free to ask questions or offer suggestions.
Let the adventure begin!!

To contact Karla to volunteer for cooking on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, you can email her  karla@calvaryrapidcity.org or call the church office for her at 605-342-9043.

The first menu of the new year will be burgers and hot dogs on the grill.  If you’d like to help run the grill, please let Karla know.

Only 16 more days until the start of the 2015-16 Education and Worship schedule for Wednesday evenings at Calvary Lutheran Church.  We’ll see you back in the dining room on September 16th, 4:45-6:15 pm, and in worship from 6:30-7:00 pm. (The menu will be coming soon on a separate post.) All Calvary members are encouraged to come and enjoy the fellowship time, and please bring friends along.  All are welcome here.

It’s been a pretty quick four months since we finished last year with a festive Aloha! Luau at the end of April. The food and the smiles were plentiful:

It’s fitting to end this blog post with Aloha, because it’s an ending for me as the volunteer coordinator of the Wednesday meal program, and a new beginning for Karla Mitzel as Hospitality Coordinator, recently hired to join the staff of Calvary Lutheran Church. More info about Karla coming here soon. The staff and volunteers at Calvary look forward to her leadership and skills in the kitchen as we move forward into the new year.  I will continue as a volunteer in the kitchen on Tuesdays and Wednesdays whenever I’m in town, and I’ll keep the blog updated with menus, recipes and photos.  Aloha!
