This morning was the mother/daughter breakfast for the junior age kids at church. We thought we had everything set to run like clockwork. Set up tables and such at 8:30am, start the bacon by 8:40am, batter on the griddles by 8:45am, food ready to serve at 9:00am. We had the tables up by 8:40 and the bacon ready to start, but NONE OF OUR PLUGS WOULD WORK!!!! About the point the back of my brain is starting to scream "McDonald's is across the road!", plans C&D finally kicked in and started working. So for next year, here's what we need to know:
a) the keys in the combination lock at the side door don't open the front door
b) have a cooking table set up in three different classrooms
c) bring extra extension cords
d) one plug can only handle two waffle irons, or ONE coffee pot, or ONE blender, or ONE griddle
e) don't forget the coffee
f) the fuse box is behind the rolling bookcase in the front kid's room
g) designate one person to be in charge of cooking, one person for decorations, one for the craft, and one to be a greeter/photographer
h) buy a food warmer
i) start the food early and use the warmer rather than cook it to serve hot and have the fuses continuously blow and not be ready on time
and now we know. And according to G.I.Joe, knowing is half the battle.
I'm thankful for our CBC ladies and their loving attitudes and helpful hands. I am SO blessed to have such wonderful Christian sisters who not only care about events, but who also care more about the PEOPLE. I have learned so much about servanthood and the body of Christ since being at our church, and I look forward to what God has in store for us.
