The Senior Covered Dish
The church hosts a monthly Senior Covered Dish during the fall and winter, usually on the last Tuesday of the month. The whole community is invited, and donations are welcome but never required. For Tom, it is a chance to get out in public, see faces he had not seen in years and share good food and fellowship.
