Wild game dinner?
By KNOX HERNDON
Pastor

I was just talking to my good friend and prayer partner Justin Kollmeyer with Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. We were discussing how we were going to get together and divide up the work in the joint hosting of this "Wild Game Dinner." By the way it is on Tuesday Night at 6:30 PM on the 4th of February at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church on Highway 314, which is sandwiched in between the Fayette Pavilion and Lowe's. As we were talking, Justin told me he was inviting a parishioner to the dinner who said to him, "wild game dinner, just what kind of wild games are we going to play??" I thought that was pretty funny, and that his parishioner needed to get out more!
