Second Saturday Mornings

Somewhere around 6:45 the lights go on in the vestry of Peoples United Methodist Church. The chef comes struggling through the door with pots and pans He makes a second trip from the car with eggs, bacon, sausage, orange juice and English muffins. Soon he is rustling through the cabinets in the kitchen for coffee, coffee makers and the toaster. Sugar and cream are placed on the counter along with plates, napkins and plastic ware. The pans are placed on the stove and the food of the day is soon under preparation. And to thin that this chef had cooked and prepared food the night before at the church auction.

The first person through the door after the chef can smell the food in preparation and gives the chef a "Good Morning" and then sets about cleaning the tables and setting them. While a general e-mail and some calls have gone out over the previous couple of days the preparers have no idea how many men will be popping in before beginning a weekend with family, friends and who knows what else.

The appointed time comes for folks to come through the door. Brad the chef is obviously the first there. Soon it is Art and Dan and Fred, and Jamie along with Earle that have arrived for friendly conversation and a terrific meal. Chuck and Rob and Jim will also join the small group of early risers on this beautiful morning in October. While he cann not always join us because of his work schedule we are glad to welcome Andy Goodwin on this particular day.

The Men's Saturday Morning Breakfast welcomes all men of the church to drop by on the Second Saturday of the month at 7:30 AM in the vestry. While Brad Morrison is the principal chef Fred, Dan, Charlie, Chuck and Jamie have also done their part in bringing a meal to we who are more reluctant to cook.

If you wish to be reminded on a monthly basis please let Art Tordoff know and he will make sure that it is done.

The next Men's Breakfast will be on Saturday, November 8. Who know with the Red Sox schedule complete and the Election just over we might find something else to chat about.
