Saturday Night Valentine Banquet
For the eighth consecutive year the Valentine Banquet at First Methodist Church, which honors widows and widowers, entertained a large crowd of church members and others in the community with good food and live entertainment. According to the so-called official count, 136 people enjoyed delicious pulled pork barbecue with all the trimmings. The meals were served by the Junior High Youth Group which received 50% of the net proceeds plus gratuities. The Junior Highs use these earnings to fund their mission projects.
The theme for the evening was The Grand Ole Opry, and the Family Life Center was decorated with country and western gear. The Grand Ole Opry tribute concert included performances related to Minnie Pearl, Ernest Tubb, Tammye Wynette, Patsy Cline, Dale Evans, Martina McBride, and Johnny Cash.
The banquet is produced by the Sunday Scholars Sunday School Class. Pictures follow:
Jay and I really enjoyed participating in the Valentine banquet. Jay is especially proud of the card that Sandra sent thanking him. Melissa and Richard also told me that they enjoyed themselves and thought highly of FUMC for the card and banquet.
