The kitchen crew is a group of men that meet every Wednesday at 10 AM to make up a grocery list, do the shopping, and then have lunch together. After lunch the group prepares the food for the evening meal. The group was started in the spring of  2002 with about three men that prepared cold cut’s and/or soup for about 25 to 35 people on Wednesday night. The group has grown to about 8 to 14 men that prepare a complete meal every Wednesday night for about 90 to 120 people. In addition to the Wednesday night meals, the group prepares funeral dinners, special dinners, and breakfast meals. Since the group’s inception, we estimate we have served 280 Wednesday night meals, 48 funeral dinners, 96 special dinners, and 24 breakfast meals. The special dinners include wedding receptions, dinner theatres for the drama group, baby showers, anniversary dinners, luncheons for groups that are using the church facilities for a meeting, and even the concessions at the soft ball games. If you want it cooked, we probably can do it for you. Most of our meals we prepare and serve at the church but we have the equipment to serve the meal at a location outside of the church. We are a busy group as we serve about 64 meals a year.

The group is open to all the men of the church that like a good time and would like to provide a valuable service to the people of Heritage Church of God. We have absolutely no restrictions on who can join us. You do not even have to know how to cook. In fact, most of our guys had never cooked before, and yet, they fit right in with the group. You don’t have to be retired as we can use full or part time help. Not all of the men join us for the shopping and lunch as they prefer to come in sometime during the afternoon and assist in the cooking, setting up tables, or cleaning up afterwards.
