Omelet Dinner, 5-7:00PM — Friday, September 4, 2026! (No dinners in July or August)
Held the first Friday of each month (excluding July and August), the dinner began in 1987 as a means of funding parsonage property taxes. Dinners are open to the public. The meal consists of an omelet (made while you watch) with your choice of fillings (ham, green onion, peppers, mushrooms, cheddar and/or Jack cheese), home-made scones, fruit and a beverage. If you are real hungry, sausage gravy and scones are available for purchase. Home-made desserts can be enjoyed for a donation. If you’re interested in becoming a team member, let one of our workers know!
In April, omelets are replaced with our annual Spaghetti Dinner. The meal includes spaghetti, bread, salad and a beverage. Delicious, home-made desserts will be available for a donation. (Same time, same place — Social Hall from 5-7:00 PM)
