Last year was the first year the lunches had a theme, and “Matters of the Heart” is the theme this year. “These lunches are a hit in the commu- nity. Around 100 people come each week to hear the message and have lunch,” Chuck Snyder said. Pastors from six different local churches speak each week and bring someone from their church to provide special music for the program. The lunches will begin Wednesday, Feb. 26 and continue each Wednesday until April 1. Lunch begins at 11:45 a.m., and Snyder said they try to finish up about 12:50 p.m. “People often come on their lunch breaks,” he said. Snyder also said 22 churches are help- ing to provide the lunch, which is soup and pies. Vegetables and cheese also are avail- able. The suggested offering for the meal is at least $5, but one can donate more. After expenses the rest of the money will go to Gary & Edna O’Bryon stopped off at the Leaning Tower of Pisa to read The Beacon while visiting their son in Pisa MARK FORTUNE Follow us on Facebook Lenten Lunches starting
