According to Jim Segedy after the August community dinner:
9 slabs of ribs, 6 pounds of pulled pork, 8 pounds of chicken wings, 4 pounds of Kielbasa, 5 pounds of brisket, 6 pounds of potato salad, 1 gallon of baked beans, 1 large spinach salad (and that’s just what I prepared). 80-90 people served. NO leftovers.
Our last meal for the summer is scheduled for Wednesday, September 7 on the side lawn from 6-8PM. We’re back to burgers, dogs, and “something else” yet to be determined. As mentioned on the front page, this will also be a chance to have a meet and greet with our pastoral candidate, Jason Dauer. Since we expect a few more in attendance due to this addition to the event, we could use extra help with set-up before (around 5:00). If you are able to help in any way, we encourage you to add your name to the SignUp Genius linked below. Scroll down to the September event (we used the same form for the whole summer), and add your name to whatever you can do – set up, tear down, serve, bring a dish or dessert.

Free Community Meals
One of the signature outreach efforts FPCE has organized in recent years helps to live out our mission to love our neighbors. The first Wednesday of the month beginning in June and running through the summer is a time when the members of the congregation open up the side lawn to the community to offer a free dinner. All of the food items are provided by the church with side dishes and desserts brought by FPCE members. Volunteers from Boy Scout Troop 23 regularly assist with set up and tear down. Elders Jim Segedy and Tyler McGuigan work the grill, a volunteer team organizes the kitchen, and we enjoy a wonderful mix of guests from the Edgewood and Wilkinsburg areas who typically outnumber those from the congregation.
