For the November All Staff Meeting (the last one of 2016), we asked our staff to contribute a favorite Christmas dish and recipe. Since we all left well-fed, happy, and ready to settle down for long winter's nap, we wanted to share the deliciousness with you! Over on our blog, download some of our favorite Christmas recipes, including three pies from Pastor Lincoln's kitchen and a traditional dish from Guam from the kitchen of Portia Bell.
Why not make a dish to share with a friend or neighbor and give them a copy of the recipes, too? It's a great way to spread some Christmas cheer and invite them to join us for Christmas Eve or Day services.
