The Friendship Luncheon is a group of parishioners that come together each month on the second Thursday for a good meal and fellowship.  There are a handful of people who help in the kitchen and clean up, and several that take care of decorating the tables.  It is for parishioners to gather for conversation, people sharing a meal together and entertainment when possible.  Everyone is welcome no matter what the age you are!

Everyone brings a side dish to the luncheon that is shared by all. Each month the main dish is provided. A donation is given for this in the beginning of the line.  Several people help with finances and door prizes.

Monthly themes for the main dish:

• January   –  Wild Game Feed

• August – County Fair

• November  –  Thanksgiving  –  Turkey with all the trimmings
• December  –  Christmas  –  Turkey with all the Trimmings
