Photo of the Day: The Lineup
Two food comas in two days? I'm thinking this holiday season will not be good to my gut. The food this time was catered from
Three Brothers Butcher BBQ in Bayside. It by no means compared to Texas barbecue, but that doesn't mean it wasn't still delicious, and there were also definitely major bonus points for variety and sheer quantity: brisket, sausage, pulled chicken and pork, baby back ribs, four kinds of pasta, mashed sweet potatoes, cornbread, rolls, cole slaw, and potato salad.
The occasion was a farewell party for Pastor Don, who has led the English congregation at Boon Church for more than five years and is now moving on to his next opportunity. Being new, I haven't had the chance to get to know him personally, but after hearing all the lavishly kind and warm words tonight about the lives he's changed, I now wish I had the chance to experience his gospel-centric ministry. Though I know very little about him, I do know he is a genuinely caring and loving individual who has touched a lot of people during his tenure with the church.
