Fish fry was disgusting. You can taste the oil on the shrimp because they are not cooking it correctly at a high enough temperature and the end product is soggy shrimp soaked in oil . The cod was mushy and oil soaked as well. They didn't put salt on anything and it all tasted like cooking oil soaked mush. This was absolutely a waste of my money and time. A Dixie cup of ice cream and box cakes for dessert, absolutely hilarious. I'm pretty sure the shrimp and cod comes from sams club, and taste like it as well. Absolutely disgusting. Cooked by amateurs and that's a compliment at best. Putting large amounts of food in a fryer lowers the temperature of the oil letting the oil seep into the batter and breading. Using grocery store quality fish and shrimp is a joke, not seasoning anything is a joke. This isn't difficult so I will do the heavy lifting for you since the church like many churches is run by incompetence. At the end of mass ask if anyone with culinary or commercial cooking experience would raise their hands or send out a email to parish members, then ask those individuals for some simple cooking tips like oil temperature and oil types and the such. Then call companies like us foods and Kuna or any major distributor in st.louis and ask if you could purchase for your church fish fry and get restaurant quality food. For God sakes use fresh green beans and not the God awful can green beans and the cole slaw needs sugar to cut the vinegar as it's bitter and terrible, all just really basic things. Serving warm can soda and a cup of mystery ice scooped up with a cup from mystery cooler. My God it was really sad and disappointing to say the least. You could have reached out to coke or Pepsi or local bottler excel and got them to provide product at a discount rate and used a soda fountain and got a way better return on the cost investment as well as brand recognition. But I have a feeling part of the problem is the people running the show. Really...

The Trunk or Treat event was listed online PUBLICLY as a FREE event. I am not a member of this church & definitely will not be returning! When I parked the lot was open but when me & my kids left the exits were blocked. This blonde woman approached my car, yelled at me that we are not allowed to leave this private event until 8:00. (Mind you itâs 6:30) asked me if I had a wristband, (there is no mention of this online nor did I see anyone require a wristband to attend.) I asked her âso we canât leave?â She then in front of my kids threatened to take their candy!! Because apparently âwe took from her kidsâ by attending. I would never treat guests in such a mean-spirited & privileged manner. Made us feel unwelcome & like we had ill intent!! When Iâm the type of person who would give freely to anyones kids (especially during trick or treating??! Like thatâs the whole point?) id expect mine to be treated...

Give us this day our daily bread, 12. and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 14. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, 15. but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 16. "And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18. that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret...
