ANSONIA - This morning my daughter Allegra and I attended a community breakfast sponsored by the Assumption Church Breakfast Club and Master's Table Community Meals, Inc.
The Rev. James Sullivan, pastor, Assumption Church, said, "It's such a wonderful thing to provide this service to those who need a good breakfast. We look at this as (serving) our extended family," he said.
"We have this beautiful facility and the volunteers providing good food and a good place to have community, in a church setting. It's not like a restaurant, it's a different feeling."
Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, rolls, pastries, orange juice, coffee, and tea were all part of the menu that more than 50 people enjoyed. The meal is free and open to the public; donations are gratefully accepted.
Griffin Hospital Valley Parish Nurse Maggie Sessa was on hand - as she is at the Master's Table dinners held monthly in the church hall - to answer health questions and perform blood pressure screenings.
It was the third monthly breakfast; stay tuned for information on the February meal. Allegra and I plan to attend again to enjoy food and friendly conversation.
Info on the next Master's Table dinner is posted below:
