If you want to really enjoy Christian community, come
to the kitchen during a weekend. The love and fellowship that flows
through the kitchen is hard to beat! We need many willing hands to chop
vegetables, knead bread, peel potatoes. and wash dishes, pots and pans.
Remember, the head cook is in charge of the kitchen, and you take orders
from him or her.
Also, check with the head cook before you snack on anything in the
kitchen, so that you do not eat something needed for the candidates.
A day in the kitchen usually begins about 6:30 a.m. and runs to 8:00
p.m. You're welcome to come anytime and stay as long or as little as you
want. You are always welcome to work on any weekend -- Men's or Women's.
Please note, that due to our liability insurance restrictions, no one
under the age of 21 is allowed to work in the kitchen. The kitchen
therefore, is not a place for children. If this creates a conflict for
you, share some "palanca" with another pilgrim and trade
baby-sitting opportunities!
A very special time of day in the kitchen is a communion service,
usually just before breakfast. Did you notice on your weekend that one of
the pastors left after your communion service each morning? He was going
to the kitchen for that service.
