Those who have a hankering for chicken and waffles won't want to miss the all-you-can-eat dinner at Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church on Saturday, April 20.
In addition to dining on a hearty meal of homemade chicken and waffles, corn, pepper cabbage, applesauce, sweet potatoes and cake, those who attend will be helping to fund a mission trip for three members of the church to travel to the village of Tamshiyacu, which is located on the Amazon River in Peru.
The cost for the tickets is $9 in advance for those who dine at the church and $8 for takeout. Tickets will also be available at the door for $10 to dine at the church and $8 for takeout. Additional information is available by calling the church at 786-3402.
Members of Middle Octorara Presbyterian Church located at 1199 Valley Road in Quarryville, Pennsylvania have traveled to Tamshiyacu for the past several years to help construct buildings, a fence and share their Christian beliefs with village residents.
Dan and Boni Henry, who have taken part in several mission trips to Tamshiyacu, will be traveling this year with Dixie Clark, another congregation member, and her friends James and Ruth Good from Mohnton.
"While we are at Tamshiyacu, as we have every year, we will be helping the pastor's wife, Lupe, to lead a Bible school for the children of the village. We will be delivering mosquito nets to help prevent malaria, flip flops to help prevent parasite infections through the soles of their feet and other needs for people of the village," Mrs. Henry said.
"Parasites are such a big problem," Mr. Henry added.
This year, the Lancaster County visitors will also help build new wooden pews for the church known as Iglesia Evangelica Presbyteriana de la Amazonia en Tamshiyacu.
They will also distribute water filtration buckets to help village residents maintain a source of clean drinking water. Some of the funding for the buckets comes from a Christmas alternative giving program where congregation members donate money to purchase the simple water filtration systems instead of giving each other presents.
