Chicken Dinners – Today, Sunday, July 21 is *Canceled.* --Parish Bulletin, July 21, 2024.

The day after a very successful Apple Cider Festival (2023), a new Double Capacity Oven was ordered for the Kitchen/Bakery. It arrived last December and has been warehoused ever since. Coordinating heavy equipment (it weighs 4,000 lbs.), window/door installers (the entire Lower Hall glass entrance needed to be removed and re-installed), and the production schedule of the Kitchen were difficult. However, the installation is now completed and the electric and gas are being connected. We should soon be up and running and in full production before next weekend, July 27/28. ---- (*No Pies, Bread, or Takeout Chicken Dinners this weekend.*) --- (*No Pies, Bread, or Takeout Chicken Dinners this weekend.*) ---Photo shows Father posing Inside the Kitchen/Bakery's old oven and then happily presenting the Kitchen/ Bakery's new double-capacity oven.

This weekend, there will not be any pies or bread for sale. Also, *possibly* this month's Takeout Chicken Dinner sale may be canceled. We will keep you updated about the Chicken Dinner event. Thanks! :-)
