As they have for the past few years, Central United Methodist Church in Oskaloosa will be serving a Community Dinner on Christmas Day.  Candace Slobe, one of the organizers of the dinner, says it’s an outreach to the community and everyone is welcome.

“It’s been very successful.  We have usually about 100 to 130 people.  Everything is prepared by the church; there is no charge.  We do accept donations if someone feels the need to do that, but it is not necessary at all.”

Slobe says reservations aren’t required, but they are helpful.  You can make a reservation by calling 641-672-2564. Walk-ins are welcome.  The Community Christmas Dinner at Central United Methodist Church in Oskaloosa begins at noon on Wednesday.
