Church Sunday Lunch........

The Sunday School riot....

becomes a venue for 250 lunches within 45 mins!

Every month or so we have a church lunch together after the morning service. Helen & I are involved in helping organise things. Essentially that means hot-footing the short distance across to St Andrew's Church (which is effectively the church hall for St Helen's) and helping get the venue ready.

The trouble is the Sunday School are all there until their parents come to collect them. Once the coast is reasonably clear we can set up tables and serving points and by 12:30 we should be ready to start dishing up. It is quite amazing how quickly the whole place can be transformed. Then we served roast beef and yorkshire pudding followed by bakewell tart and custard.

At last month's Sunday Lunch we had 264 meals served - today was a bit quieter with some folk away on a residential weekend at a conference centre and of course it was Mothers' Day so some people had other arrangements; even so we served 209 people today..... and washed up after them! A big 'thank you' to all our helpers.

Why not join us sometime? We are quite a friendly bunch!
