As Mennonite Church Saskatchewan business played out in the sanctuary of North Star Mennonite Church in Drake on March 9, a group of women were doing church in the basement. On lunch prep duty were (left to right) Myrna Ewert, Vicky Toporchak, Betty Friesen, Tami-Lynn Lehr, Mary Jean Nicholson, Alvie Martens and Denise Bartel.
When asked if it was the people upstairs or downstairs who were missing out, Ewert replied with a smile: “Good things happen here.”
Thanks to all those who do the holy work of nurturing body and soul, especially those who have done so for decades. May God bless the kitchen fellowship.
