Chicken Fried Steak Dinner 11-9-16
After this crazy election season, we all could use a little comfort food. Come on down to Calvary Lutheran Church on Wednesday, post-election day, for a little TLC. Stay for worship at 6:30 after dinner if you’d like. The music is always exceptionally good, sometimes the puppets come out, and the message of God’s love and grace is there for all. We are the family of God, and as Nora Ephron once said, “A family is a group of people who eat the same thing for dinner.” All are welcome at our table.
Last week we served dinner to over 400 with a baked potato bar, including chili, steamed broccoli, ham, bacon, cheese sauce, homemade cornbread muffins, and a decadent chocolate caramel cake for dessert. Here are a few photos from last week:
