My last post about serving at the Caldwell Chaplaincy was back in March highlighting our brown bag lunch event.
This past weekend we once again held our Caldwell BBQ lunch to bless those in the Caldwell area who struggle with food security.
We once again began with people purchasing food for the occasion and then some others prepping the tomatoes and lettuce.
Yes, this picture is just to prove I did some work : )
Nellie and Evert washed and cut the lettuce.
Thanks to Sarah, Nellie, and Evert for getting things ready to go.
I also loaded up the two BBQ's and shelters we use from the church.
As well as the food supplies.
Setting things up.
We also use a larger BBQ from the Chaplaincy so we can cook Halal burgers.
Ready to go.
Cheryl and Ray getting the larger BBQ ready.
Miranda (a first timer!!, I think?? : ) )
showed up and I put her to work on the other BBQ.
Lots of smoke. Cough Cough.
At 11:30 we started. People started milling about at 11 a.m. : )
Time to get cooking.
Miranda and I got the regular burgers going.
The Halal burgers cooking away.
Annet and others making sure the stations are ready to go.
Jonathan and sons came out to help as well.
Also first timers.
Whoot!! : )

Theo and Gareth help get a burger prepared for a patron.
And Evert and Jonathan
And Jonah and Emma (both first timers toooo) and Annet
I found this cool spatula. : )
No, I know, it's not REALLY a spatula, but it sure worked well flipping the burgers.
Gotta use it again next year : )
When we were done I decided to burn off the excess grease on both BBQ's. There was LOTS of grease : )
Thanks to all who volunteered to help make yet another Caldwell event a success.
We planned for 150 hamburgers, bought 180 and ran out this time.
Food security is an issue.
Blessings to you all, until next time.
