Men's Night, Friday, February 5

Get Your Goulash On! Friday, February 5 at 6:30 PM
in the Undercroft
What better time for fun and fellowship before you don your sackcloth, roll in ashes, and kneel on uncooked rice for Lent! John Pivarnik will provide his famous Hungarian goulash, nicely seasoned with the highly-sought-after 'SZEGED' Hungarian paprika. The goulash is more or less all inclusive. Some sides of artisan breads would be useful. I'll also provide some hot stuffed cherry pepper appetizers for those of you who like it really hot!
Any other appetizers and/or desserts are welcome. This is BYOB, so suit yourself and perhaps bring some of your favorite brews to share. This is a learning experience as well as a community builder.

Coffee Hours Hosts Needed
|
Hosts are need for Coffee hour directly following the 10 AM services on Sundays! While you may get as extravagant as you want, we really are only asking people to provide light finger food snacks--things such as a cheese and cracker tray, fruit or veggie platters and something sweet for the kids to snack on and drink. The purpose of coffee hour is for a brief social get together, not for lunch.
Please contact me by e-mail or at 973-618-9345 to let me know what Sunday you would like to sign up for!
Thank you!
