CALENDAR

Click here to see the updated youth calendar.   We've got a lot going on and want you to be a part!

Thank you for helping our Youth Ministry by providing meals on Sunday nights!  This is an important time of fellowship with both High School and Middle School, helping to build friendships between various ages, learning from and supporting each other.

Here is what you need to know: 

bullet

35 people

bullet

Provide main course, side dishes if applicable and drinks

bullet

Cups, plates, napkins, utensils and ice are provided. 

bullet

Dinner is served from 6:00-6:30

bullet

If you have something delivered, pay in advance.

bullet

Deliveries need to come to the porte cochere door (You need to be there to show them where to take the food)

bullet

You can cook in the kitchen if you like.  Use the Kitchen Checklist to be sure the kitchen is ok for inspection the next day.

bullet

keep your receipts and either turn them in to your church account as a donation or if you need to be reimbursed, give them to Lori or Shon.

bullet

If you cannot provide a meal on the date assigned to you, trade with someone else but notify Maria Calkins so the right person will be reminded on the calendar and website.

bullet

Call Shon and Lori several days beforehand to ask these questions:
1.  Enough plates, napkins, cups on hand?
2.  Any special events that will change the number of people to
     feed this week?
3.  If you are cooking in the kitchen, let them know.

Anything good you would like to cook! Maria Calkins has lots of ideas and the kids really like home style food!

Optional/additional items you may need to consider: vegetable platter with Ranch dip, Mac and Cheese, Pickles, chips, dessert, condiments, salad dressings, slaw, baked beans, salad, fruit, other side dishes, relishes, etc.

Other helpful hints:

      • To keep from running out of food, we highly recommend that you serve each plate and just remind the kids to come back for seconds if they want after everyone has been served.

      • For 35 people you will need 3 big bags of plain potato chips, 5 two liter sodas (Coke, D. Coke, Sprite, Cherry Coke, Sierra Mist, Dr. Pepper Orange Fanta are the favorites but you can bring store brand as well)  Consider bringing lemonade, sports drinks, tea etc.

      • Plan to have everything ready no later than 6:00 so that other activities after supper will begin on time.

      • Still feel lost?  Call Maria Calkins or any other youth parent.  We'll be glad to answer questions and give suggestions.
