Winter Banquet

With Our Sunday School Class

Saturday Evening, February 19

 

 

This year our meal was at a local Amish home where guests are regularly served – busloads of guests.

 

 

I think there were close to forty in attendance.

 

Before I took any pictures, I asked Mrs. King if it was okay. She smiled and said, “As long as neither she nor any of her servers were in the photograph.” She also preferred if I took the photo with my back to the kitchen area.

 

 

A table setting

 

 

Amish do not have electric, so our room was lit by propane gas lights that were  under these beautiful shades.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The meal began with a salad that was passed to everyone at our table of ten guests.

 

 

Homemade bread

 

 

Chow chow – a pickled relish that is popular in our area.

 

 

The main course consisted of green beans, mashed potatoes, buttered/cheese-covered/noodles, roast beef, and chicken.

It was delicious!

 

 

The chocolate candy hearts were part of our dessert (I think our committee provided these). I forgot to photograph the dessert which was apple pie, chocolate cake, and vanilla ice cream. We also had coffee and iced tea.

Following the meal the committee had some fun Bible games for us. I don’t have master sheets of the first two, but would like to challenge you with the last one we played.

~~~

Name the twelve books of the Bible that begin with the letter J.

There are six in the Old Testament and six in the New Testament,  and yes count first, second, and third as separate books of the Bible.  

Don’t cheat! You have five minutes to write them down.

Tell me how you did – before you looked up any you missed.

I missed one of the minor prophets in the Old Testament.
