2009 Advent Dinner86 viewsThis year's Advent Dinner was the first of its kind at LCOS. All who attended signed-up to bring a dish to share OR paid $10/person for a superb variety of seasonal food. The congregation provided the excellent roast pork. After the dinner, Christmas carols were sung and gifts were distributed to prize winners. The evening ended with the singing of "Silent Night." Great singing! Great food! Great fellowship!
