Preparing for meals at Shalom House has always been fun and challenging. Three weeks ago, we had our lowest attendance on a Sunday evening in my twelve years here…18. That was followed by another low number for a Sunday evening: 28. Then last Sunday we had 51 and fed them all, barely. As I said, planning for so much food for ___ number of people is certainly a challenge.  Thanks Levi, for last Sunday’s delicious ‘Cajun special’ of Red Beans ‘n Rice + all the trimmings. It actually tasted much better then it looked!  This week we’ll be having a South African delight: elephant meat!  No, not really, but that is what the cook, Chloe, told me to say.  John Hayes will be delivering the evening message and our evening program begins at 1700 hours. We could always use more musicians so please, step up to the plate. We could use a drummer as we already have the drums. And violin and/or cello accompaniment would certainly add a beautiful touch to our singing. Thanks Aaron, for helping us out last Sunday evening on the keyboard. Are you sure you don’t want to switch Sunday ministries??!!
