Lenten lunches will be offered 6 weeks by Medina churches

MEDINA – Continuing a tradition which goes back decades, the Medina Area Association of Churches will again this year sponsor Lenten lunches in Medina.

This year’s Lenten lunches begin March 6 and continue every Thursday through April 10, at the First Presbyterian Church on Main Street.

Lunches begin at noon, with takeouts available at 11:45, according to Barb Hancock, a member of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church and MAAC.

Participating churches provide lunch on a rotating basis, followed by a meaningful reflection.

The first lunch on March 6 will feature soup and sandwich by the First Presbyterian Church, followed by pulled pork on March 13 by the Alabama Full Gospel Fellowship, chicken and biscuits on March 20 by One Church, beef on weck March 27 by New Hope Community Church, sloppy joes April 3 by the Church of Abundant Harvest and scalloped potatoes and ham on April 10 by The Grove United Methodist Church.

Everyone is welcome to stop in and share the meal and fellowship, Hancock said. The program ends by 1 p.m.

A donation of $5 is suggested, with all proceeds going to Orleans County Meals on Wheels program and Albion’s Koinonia Kitchen.

Albion’s Lenten lunches start March 12 for five Wednesdays at noon at the Albion First Baptist Church, 30 West Park St.
