Chinese New Year at Alpha

We've been running the ALPHA course on Monday evenings at our church since mid January.  ALPHA is a course explaining the Christian religion.  We start the evening with dinner, then a video or speaker and then we discuss the material.  It's been my pleasure to work with 2 other ladies and some volunteers to provide a lovely meal for our guests.  Last Monday was Chinese New Years so our menu was mandarin chicken, rice, oriental salad and for dessert I made some lotus flowers, filled them with trail mix and put them on a plate with a mandarin orange and a fortune cookie.  I was pleasantly surprized at how lovely they looked and tasted!!!  Lots of rave reviews about the whole dinner!
