A Valentine's Couples' Dinner
Submitted for the Valentine's contest:
Every year the single young ladies (ages 13 and up) plan and serve a Valentine's Couples' Dinner for 12 couples at our church congregation. The group is required to plan everything including: Menus, Invitations, Decorations, Hours'Dourves, cooking, clean-up, and finding a location to host at (usually someone's home).
The idea for the dinner is to give 12 couples a day to relax and escape from the cares of daily life for a few hours, as well as getting to know and fellowship with other married couples, and enjoy a four course meal. For the young ladies it means learning about the cooking and preparation and attention to details while also learning how to properly serve, set, and bus a table. This meal includes Salad, Soup, Main dish, breads, drinks, and dessert. Each couples is encouraged to get closer to each other and fellow couples as well.
There is a theme that is different every year, and different Scripture verses on menus, and invitations. The young ladies also have a way of spending a worthwhile day of celebration and anticipation of service and love for their sisters and working together. This year's theme includes the colors of pink, red, silver, and ivory - as well as hearts. This year's chosen Scripture reference is: Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. - Romans 12:10
