One on one service at lunch

Church services were canceled today. Youth Group was canceled too. But we still hosted the monthly interfaith luncheon at St. Marks. I was a little worried because their driveway hadn't been plowed when I went by at 11:30 a.m. When I stopped back at 12:30 p.m. the driveway was plowed and the driver was just plowing the parking lot.


Sue and Dave Kogut cooked the meal today. They made up a real nice ham dinner. We didn't know what to expect with the weather. Sue came prepared to feed up to sixty. As it turned out there were only 8 brave souls who came out. It was real nice though. We actually served them and then sat and ate with them. I sat with a couple who asked me about our Christmas eve services. We chatted and I learned a lot about them. Unlike most months where we are racing around trying to feed everyone, today we got to spend time with the folks we see month after month at these meals. It was real nice.


Erica Corbett, Michelle and Elsie Chaffee showed up to help serve. Sue's friend Jen and her daughter, Amy came to help in the kitchen. For a while we had as many helpers as we did diners. You can't get better service than that.
