If you're in the Indy area and you've ever thought about serving at Brookside, I've got a perfect opportunity for you.   Join us this Sunday Nov 23rd to help prepare and serve a Thanksgiving dinner.    It truely is a great experience and good for kids of all ages.   We'll be there with Camden and Caleb (5 and 2 years old).    They love to help out and help serve. 

Here are some details: 

Dinner is being served immediately following the morning service.  We expect to start serving around 11:45.  Obviously, dinner for such a large group is going to take a lot of preparation.  We will be arriving at Brookside around 8am.  We WELCOME any of you who are willing to come down at that time to help us begin setting up the gymnasium for the meal.  If you can't make it at 8am, just come when you can.

For lunch we'll be serving turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberries, and either cake or pie (we're still working out that detail).  We are going to need assistance in the following areas:

1. Setting up

2. Preparing food

3. Serving food

4. Clearing tables

5. Cleanup

6. Preparing drinks

7. Cutting/serving desserts

We would like to prepare and serve many of these dishes from either crock pots or roasting pans.  If you have either of these that you're willing to lend for the afternoon, we'd really appreciate it.  It will be helpful to keep things warm while they're on the serving line. 

For those of you who have never been to Brookside before, the church is located at 1035 N. Olney St.  There is a parking lot directly across from the church as well as street parking.  If you have any questions or concerns that morning, you can reach me at 513-7070.

Leave me a comment below if you think you want to come, so we can help in planning volunteers and tasks.    It truely is a blessing to serve at Brookside and I really encourage you to come.   It will be a great time.
