Melody of Love

What do you get when you combine musically talented youth, a good cook, and a church gym? You get Melody of Love! Last weekend my youth held a fundraiser where people bought tickets to have a wonderful meal complete with live music from the youth. We decked out the gym as best we could, set-up the tables as fancy as we could (we even used champagne flutes), and had hostesses that seated people as they came into the gym. It was perfect. The youth picked their own songs, rehearsed on their own, found their own accompaniment, and were amazing! The food was amazing too. A three course meal that included a roll, ceasar salad, green beans with almonds, twice baked potatoes, chicken cordon blue, and chocolate heart cups (that we made) filled with no-bake cheesecake and a raspberry topping. It was delicious! Wish I could have that sort of meal made for me everyday. The best part about all of this is that I have only heard good things about the night. People loved being served, being sang to, and having a good meal with their neighbors. Can't wait till next year!
