Sisters In Christ Dinner - A Beautiful Tradition!




Well, when I was selling AVON, there was a pretty set of royal blue glass dishes that took my fancy. I ended up with twelve settings and some serving pieces. We like them because they go into the microwave and dishwasher and none have "bitten" the dust. I have used them about three times to set a patriotic table for our Sisters in Christ Banquet.

Well, our annual banquet is being held tonight and I have turned the required pieces over to my friends Kathleen and Sandy and they have set a total of four tables with four different sets of dishes. (Won't they be a little crazy by the end of the day?) Our table will be patriotic again!

Our Angel of Joy Lutheran Church Sisters In Christ Dinner has become a tradition for us. Several of the women of the church set tables, each with a different theme. The women come to be pampered and the Men of the Church serve us.

This year, a Christian Group called Ransomed will entertain us and there will be lots of door prizes too.

We have a beautiful buffet where we pick up our main course. The men - dressed in white shirts and black bow ties - bring us our water, coffee and dessert. It is an excellent fundraiser for us and Thrivant Lutheran Financial Services matches the money made.

This might be a concept your church could use to raise money!

Fund-raising and a good time - what a nice combination!
