When Lacey Church members invited their community to join them in Tuttle Hall, next to the church, for the evenings of Nov. 12 and 19, 2013, they were pleased with the interest in holiday vegetarian and vegan cooking.
This community outreach attracted a total attendance during the two sessions of more than 80, including about 20 non-members. One community participant is now attending Sabbath church services.
In addition to church members from area churches, several new attendees from the recent Lacey evangelistic meetings joined the cooking classes. Ronald Case, cooking school director, says, "I think that the good cooks in the Lacey Church made a positive impact for healthy living in our community."
Another participant adds, "It was fun learning vegetarian/vegan cooking, and the samples were delicious."
