Community Dinner is a special outreach - it is for anyone who would like a nice meal and a little community fellowship. Although the first floor space is very raw, it is amazing what lowered lights, a couple tablecloths, flowers, candles, candy for table scatter, appetizer plates and ambient music can do to make a welcoming atmosphere for our guests. For many who do not have the opportunity to have a pleasant dining experience, it is the chance to do so. |

The serving team of Rev. Pat Bumgardner, Ernesto Declet-Ross, and John Phelps has it down to a science. After Rev. Pat's opening with a prayer,the machine team pulls out all the stops in serving people their drinks and meals with kindness (combined with efficiency!) and genuine care. |

Appetizers have ranged from tuna sald with dill weed on flax crackers to prosciutto-wrapped watermelon to grapes and cheese; entrees from baked salmon over asparagus to parmesan-crusted chicken to turkey meatloaf to spaghetti and meatballs. And of course, there is always a great dessert.

If ever in the area on Community Dinner day, consider partaking in the meal, either as a guest or as part of the serving team! All are welcome and all walk away with the memory of a tasteful and satisfying communal experience.
