Hospitality – There is always time for food and fellowship at Joy! Between services, and after second service, coffee, punch and refreshments are served. If you would like to be a part of the Kitchen Committee, please contact Auverne Raatz.
For those who have experienced the delicious cooking of the Kitchen Committee first hand, you will want to have their recipes, which we have conveniently published in our congregation’s cookbook: Joys of Cooking. Copies are available for purchase in the Narthex.Click here for a few sample recipes.
