THURSDAY, APRIL 18
On Thursday evening at 6:00 p.m., tables are set up, and the vegetables are cleaned and cut up for the pickled cabbage.
FRIDAY, APRIL 19
Early Friday morning at 8:00 a.m. we start making the pickled cabbage and stuffing. (Some foods are just better when their flavors can mingle – just watch the cooking shows, you’ll see.)
SATURDAY, APRIL 20
Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. we start cleaning the meat off the turkeys, which is easier if the turkeys are warm. Those of you who clean your own turkeys and then deliver them really help to speed up this process. Final food preparations are made at 2:30 p.m. – making potatoes and gravy, and heating up the turkey, vegetables and stuffing so that everything is hot and ready for 3:00 p.m. Actually serving the supper begins at 3:00 and goes to about 7:00 p.m. We can always use lots of hands for serving food, working in the kitchen, busing tables, and waiting on tables. By 7 pm it’s nice to have a clean-up crew come in. The tables need to be cleared, tablecloths and chairs wiped down, Sunday School rooms put back into order and the walls put back up. The roasters and pots are washed and put away until the next supper. The kitchen cleaned and floors washed and vacuumed.
Come out and lend a hand. This is a great way to support our church and its missions and have fun while doing it!!
Turkey Supper Dates
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross. — Philippians 2:5-8 (NASV)
