The St. George Church is hosting its annual Middle Eastern Lunch and Dinner on Tuesday, September 23, at Venue St. George (336 La Grave Avenue SE). This cherished event invites the entire community to enjoy an authentic taste of Middle Eastern cuisine, with a menu featuring a variety of traditional dishes prepared by the church community.
Guests can look forward to enjoying flavorful kafta grilled on-site, a savory meat pie, and classic hummus.

It serves not only as a fundraiser but also as a way to share and celebrate the rich culture and traditions of the Middle East with the local community. The proceeds from the event will go toward supporting the church’s ongoing activities and charitable work.
