Senior Smorgasbord
Each Sunday, Good Shepherd sponsors a Senior Smorgasbord for seniors age 62 and older and their invited guests.
The smorgasbord is held in the John Linden Chapel at Good Shepherd after worship services are complete. A hot, homemade nutritious meal is served that includes a variety of meat, vegetables, salads, fruits, relishes, breads, and desserts.
This popular smorgasbord has been in existence since the mid 1980’s and has served hundreds of thousands of meals.
Time: Serving Begins at 11:45 and continues until 12:30
Location: Good Shepherd’s John Linden Chapel
Cost: $6.oo for seniors 62 and older, $7.00 for invited guests and visitors
Please come and join us for a wonderful experience of food and friends.
