Dinner at the Wilson Family Restaurant
Wilson Family Restaurant
A lot of last week was spent thinking about and planning the dinner on Saturday night for the young adults of the church. And then on Saturday the whole day was spent preparing the house (a super cleaning session, and furniture rearranging) and then the dinner. We ended up with 22 people coming to dinner, including six friends from other cities, as well as a couple of non Christian friends of people in the church. This certainly stretched the capabilities of the house – we only had 21 chairs for the 26 people present, for example – but the house survived! We put on the “Wilson Family Restaurant”, complete with upside down golden arches (‘W’ for Wilson), and offered hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, and a few other dishes. The food was plenty (we will still be eating it tomorrow) and appreciated. It was good to see people mixing well also. The last couple of years the Young Adults’ group has been good at incorporating new people to the church, but for various reasons it was not been doing so well lately. So we organised the dinner to help this. And it worked. The non church friends were made to feel welcome as well, in fact they were all in church this morning as well. All in all, a successful dinner.
