Ministry Title: Thursday Night Dinners at First English Lutheran Church
Ministry Leaders: Sherry Hemmingson, Joel Frederick


Ministry Purpose: In order to reach people with the love of Jesus Christ, the First English Thursday Night Dinner ministry hosts a meal for the guests from the community around First English Lutheran Church (on 1015 E. Main St. in Columbus at the corner of 22nd and Main St.) for dinner on the  Third Thursday of all odd numbered months.  As we serve and dine with the guests, much more than food is enjoyed and wonderful relationships develop over repeated visits.  Guests include families from the community and senior citizens from the JC Arms group.

  • Purchase and prepare food for the dinner.
  • Serve and dine with our guests providing a loving environment for them to fellowship and enjoy a healthy meal.
  • Play with the kids.
