The First United Methodist Church of Gilford will have their annual Harvest Supper this year on Oct.16. It will be take-out only. We are pleased to announce that the popular bean-hole beans will be back! Pick up will be 5 to 6 p.m. and cost will be $14 per dinner. The meal will consist of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, bean-hole beans, roll, and home-made apple pie. We plan to serve 150 to 160 dinners, so get your reservation in early.

The meal will be provided in a safe, drive-up manner. Come to the church at 18 Wesley Way, Gilford. You will be directed to drive into a lane in the front parking lot where they will be met by our โ€˜ticketโ€™ sellers to pay and receive a card stating the number of dinners you have purchased and this number will be placed on the dashboard. You will then drive around to the back of the church where runners will note the number on your dashboard and place the correct number of dinners in the trunk, in the back seat or hand them in the window. Each complete dinner will be in a separate plastic bag.

Reservations can made by calling Joyce in the church office at 524-3289. She is available in the mornings from 8:30 a.m. to noon. If you call at another time, please leave your name, the number of dinners you want, and a phone number. If there are more than 150 reservation, callers will be put on a list and called on Oct.ย 16ย if a dinner becomes available.
