Dinner Ministry

[Unquenchable]

I have recently discovered how much I enjoy cooking for others, especially in large groups.

The past three years I have held a Christmas dinner for all the single people at our church evening service... and this year it was big with twenty people coming and three large roasts.

Through this I have decided next year to being a new dinner ministry and cook dinner for people to sit and enjoy together after each evening service as a way of encouraging people to develop better relationships and enjoy fellowship time together.

I am sure it will be challenging... Do any of you currently run a program like this?

Or do any of you have fantastic One-Pot recipes?

I would be grateful for feedback.

That sounds like a great idea, unquenchable. I'm sure you will be richly blessed for it. As far as recipes go, you might check over in the recipes forum. I think there are some threads with recipes that might work for you.

That's an awesome idea. For some of our meetings for our college ministry we would have meals, but it wasn't exactly like this. Also, I went to a church that serves nice meals to the homeless on Thursday nights, which is really awesome, but that's not like this really either. However, this is a great idea, and I think more churches/people should do it, especially for college kids, because we always love free food!!

that's great unquenchable. Good thing you can cook because for us, though we have our own christmas special meet the past few years at a friend's house, we don't really have someone cooking. Most of the time it's potluck or something from pizza hut. 2 years back we had the turkey with us.
