Midwinter Supper Fills the Vestry

The Midwinter Supper on Saturday filled every seat in the vestry and both tables in the hall, with roast pork, applesauce and three kinds of squash. The choir sang afterward and the dishes were done by nine.

The kitchen committee thanks Hardware & Feed for the loan of the big roaster and the Bascombe family for the loan of Len to carry it.
