An important reminder
Please bring ALL dishes ready to set on the table. The kitchen will NOT be available for preparing or arranging food items since the turkey, ham, potatoes, gravy, tossed salad, needs cooking and serving space.
It is a tradition at our church to bring your own holiday china or paper throw-a-ways to help with clean up. All attending need to plan on taking their scraped but not washed dishes home.
*A donation basket to cover the costs of the food and beverages will be at the front door. Please give as you are willing and able.
