Women’s Event – Let’s Taste the World Together

Join the Women’s Ministry for a delicious journey around the globe as we share and enjoy diverse dishes from different cultures.
Bring a dish that represents your favorite country, culture, or family tradition to share with everyone.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Choose a dish (main, side, dessert, snack, etc) that reflects an international cuisine, cultural or family favorite. Homemade or store bought-share what you love!
  2. Bring enough to share a small bite with the attendees.
  3. Bring your dish with its name, country of origin, or a great story of a family tradition or travel adventure about your dish.
We’ll provide drinks, utensils, and plates—just bring your appetite and a spirit of adventure to try a new dish or two!
We can’t wait to explore the world of flavors with you!  Please kindly RSVP by joining the women’s ministry group on facebook and clicking on the event.
