A special dinner was held to hear about Rev. Melinda Reed's Sabbatical to Italy to Study Christian Art. The Italian Night was sponsored by the Board of Deacons and the Board of Membership and Fellowship. Everyone took part in the Italian Night Potluck by bringing a main Italian dish, bread, salad, appetizers, dessert, and wine to celebrate the occasion.
