We've tried over the last few years to practice some new outreach ideas. Our latest idea was for the girls to host a ladies luncheon once every few months. These luncheons will have to work into our monthly food budget so they'll be fairly inexpensive and mostly homemade goodies by the girls. This month was an exception to the homemade part because our kitchen floor is currently plywood and we have NO dishwasher. So the girls trashing the kitchen and dirtying every dish we own didn't sound like the best idea to me. Instead, we just bought most of the food from Walmart.
But I did want each girl to make something that they could share. Mary made chicken salad and Taylor made potato soup. We made enough of both to have extra for dinner that night also (in an attempt to not go over our food budget).
We added a few colorful treats and I gave the girls a quick lesson on being a good servant. We talked about working hard to ensure that our guests feel comfortable and can relax while they're here. We also talked about the importance of us being relaxed and went over the bible lesson about Mary and Martha.
The girls enjoyed the food and fellowship and I think the ladies did too. Next luncheon we're thinking about doing a brunch for some of the ladies from church.
