Men Feed Thirty (Not Quite Five Thousand)

Mar. 18--Outside of the comments, accompanied by laughter, from several women, "Glad to see the men in the kitchen where they belong", "If Mark and John are cooking, where are Luke and Matthew?" and the ever popular "Hey! Can I get a little service over here!" the Men's Pancake Breakfast during the Sunday School hour was a success.  The men prepared and served pancakes, sausage, and bacon accompanied by warm syrup and a choice of milk, coffee, water, or orange juice.

 

The men viewed this as a practice session for "going public" with a pancake breakfast fundraiser for mission.
