Wednesday Evening Dinners
Amy Jennings, Director of Parish Life
During the first half of 2018 we served Wednesday
Night Dinners prior to classes.
We are blessed by the hospitality and generosity of
the Wednesday night meals team to offer their time
and talents to prepare wonderful meals for our St.
Peter’s family. We thank all our volunteers and
especially our cooks: Evelisse Tarar, Sandra Marino,
Bill Inghram, John Crouch, Blanca Velazquez and
Beth Sowers.

The cost for meals in $5 for adults & teens and $3 for
children. Although our cooks donate their time, the
Church pays for all cooking supplies. Our goals is to collect
enough money to cover the cost of the meals. However,
all those who would like a meal are fed! In 2018, meals
have a net profit of $170 and we were able to use that
money towards restocking plates, cups and utensils.
