Jiaozi. Mandu. Momo. Gyoza. Dumplings.
We plan to celebrate the Lunar New Year early with our annual dumpling party on Friday, January 29 starting at 6:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall of University Baptist Church. We will make… cook… and eat dumplings! Along with a few cold dishes and desserts. What makes this activity different and special is that it is organized and led by internationals. Although Pastor Rick will of course drive the bus for people who need a ride.
We need people who would like to help organize this. That includes buying and preparing dough and ingredients, making wrappers, cooking, cleaning up. The church will cover the cost of food - so please save your receipts.
Update: We already have a team of several people who are coordinating this activity. But they need more helpers! Please call or email Rick Wright at rwright[at]ubc-br[dot]org or 225-766-7474 ext 222 if you want to help with this fun delicious evening.
This activity is for (1) people who participate in our Friday or Sunday activities and (2) their families and (3) new internationals that would like to learn more about Church of the Nations. Children are welcome - but parents must watch and be responsible for them!
You can drive yourself to the church - turn into the first parking lot where the fellowship hall is. Or you can ride on the church bus which picks up from:
- Highland Plantation/Duplantier bus stop (next to WalMart) at 5:50 p.m.
- Edward Gay apartments (outside gate) at 6:00 p.m.
- Nicholson bus stop at 6:05 p.m.
- Tigerland (let Rick know exactly where) at 6:10 p.m.
Yes this means we arrive at the party a little late. But it will not make much of a difference. We should be finished and taking people home by 8:00 p.m.
