The Cookery has been a busy place in December 2003. Thanks to all
of you in Faith Church we have this great facility to work in and
reach out to many people.
December 4 we were honored to serve the East Ohio Bishop Keaton
and his cabinet their Christmas dinner. We served prime rib and all
the fixings. It was an exciting and fun evening for all.
Other activities have been a lunch served to the Board of
Ordained Ministry and three gatherings following funerals.
Second Wind met for their Christmas meeting on December 9 and
Asbury Fellowship was served their Christmas dinner on December 13.
December 14 the Youth Mission Team, under the direction of Butch
Ransom, hosted a carry-in dinner. Ham was prepared in the Cookery.
Christmas spirits were raised by singing carols and the youth
playing handbells. It was a wonderful family evening, enjoyed by
all.
We also delivered many meals to shut-ins and folks just home from
the hospital. We make soup and Gwen Guiher delivers it when making
calls. Thank you, Gwen.
The final event before Christmas was an open house for our church
staff.
Thank you all who have helped in the Cookery in December and
throughout the year. A good job done, all you faithful servants.
Some of you inquired about the pumpkin pancakes served at the
November 23 brunch. I put this recipe together myself and I want to
thank Charlotte Heller, our pancake maker for the brunch.
Happy New Year—see you in 2004!
