Last night was the final Lenten dinner of the Lenten season as we prepare to enter Holy Week this coming Palm Sunday. Each of the Wednesday night dinners preceding the Lenten worship service was "sponsored" by a different area of ministry within the church, and this last one was up to us men of Men's Fraternity. Last year, we had grilled out as Lent came a little later in the spring and it was warmer (although we were surprised by the 50 degree temps we had that day, maybe we could have grilled out again this year). We served sloppy joe's and some various side salads (potato, baked beans, cole slaw, etc.) and there was no shortage of Martha's in the kitchen or on the floor preparing, serving, or cleaning up. In fact, a few even commented to me that we had the highest turnout of ANY of the ministry areas in terms of volunteers helping out.
We all seemed to enjoy our time getting to be Martha's so that others might get to enjoy their Mary time at the Master's feet, or at least relax and enjoy a meal and fellowship prior to entering the worship together as the body of Christ
