Lord Of All Lutheran Church set for annual Christmas dinner

Once again the Lord Of All Lutheran Church is hosting its annual free dinner on Christmas evening, and the invitation extends to everyone.

Vicki Thurn has been organizing the dinner for the past few years, along with her husband, and says that the event is “always fun.”

“We do this because there is a need. I know last year we fed 67 people, and every year is kind of different, but we’ve certainly seen the numbers come up,” says Thurn.

Anyone is welcome to come and participate in the dinner and company. Thurn explains that if your plans fall through, if you’re new to the area or if you just want company drop by and enjoy the meal.

Nothing is required to bring to the meal, and Thurn says it is “totally free” and there is no need to book a spot or call ahead.

Thurn encourages everyone of all religions to come, since the festivities don’t focus on religion.

“Come for a good meal. Come to just be with others,” Thurn says.

Doors will open at 4 p.m. and dinner will be served around 4:30. Every year is different and after the dinner you can stay and play games or sing carols, or you are free to leave. 

If you do know that you will be attending the dinner, please call the church at 403-934-2374 if you are able to so numbers can be more accurately estimated.
